Brief Summary:
There are demands that Michigan government will close the waterways that connect the Great Lakes and the Mississippi River. This is in fear that voracious Asian carp will enter into the Great Lakes and kill off all the other fish that inhabit these lakes.

Short Response:
Granholm refers to this as an ecological disaster, and I have to agree that this is potentially what it could be. The killing off of these species could affect many others, which in turn could create a real disaster.
