Asian carp that have invaded and steadily taken over rivers in America will meet the wrath of U.S. Army Corps of Engineers if they try to enter the Great Lakes.

The carp have been pushing their way up the Mississippi River and into the Great Lakes’ Lake Michigan. The Fish and Wildlife Service found Asian carp DNA in the Chicago River, solidifying the fear that some are already present. The Corps has an extensive plan to secure the Great Lakes from the spread of Asian carp with high-tech engineering, Scientific American reported.
