Asian Carp Education and Outreach
NOAA is taking advantage of the exceptional outreach and extension programs of the Great Lakes Sea Grant network help educate the public on the risks posed by Asian Carp. Sea Grant extension agents will give presentations to audiences such as boaters, educators, resource managers, and the general public that include up-to-date and accurate information on the threat of Asian Carp invading the Great Lakes.
