Fish movement was the main push but it seems some of that idea died out with thenorthern advanceof the bigheads and silvers.
Yeah, Asian carp advancements have done a lot to cancel habitat improvements in both vertical (up and downriver) and lateral (floodplain) connectivity. We were making progress in these areas, with real measureable benefits to desireable native species, until the darn carp came along. Now we can't do anything for fear that we help out the carp more than the natives. Sucks.[

I still think I should get 5 million for my carp removal and utilization project.
Christine, if it was up to me, I'd give it to you. Can't be any more stupid than some other things that have a good chance of funding, and yours is bound to be more fun.
