Doing Our Part

sdleastwanted.com
I am really afraid of invasive species.  While they are all bad, there are none worse than the Asian Carp, and I say that only because I have seen them in action.  The James River has long been (and can still be at times) a trophy fishery.  The last trip I made to the Jim was last year, and the Asian carp were there in numbers.  This scares the shit out of me!  

The scariest thing is that an effort to prevent the spread of invasive species is not for a small contingent of passionate people.  EVERYONE must buy into the idea that they can transport invasive species to their favorite waters.  I don't know what would happen if Asian Carp eventually made it into SD's great lakes, and I don't want to know.  Please, do your part to prevent the spread.  Visit SD GFP's new website to learn about current rules and regs and the species they have been put in place to shut out.   We must hold each other accountable, and be diligent in our efforts.  Together, we can stop the spread of these invasive species.
