Faced with the threat that Asian carp could enter the Great Lakes, Michigan is turning to the public for new ideas and plans to offer a prize to whoever comes up with a way to stop the voracious fish.
Michigan's global search challenge comes after the U.S. government and others have spent hundreds of millions searching for a solution to stop the carp from entering the world's largest freshwater system. If they aren't stopped, officials fear the aggressive fish will crowd out prize native fish and hamper recreational boating in large sections of the lakes, which stretch from Minnesota, Wisconsin and Michigan in the west to New York and Pennsylvania in the east and from Ontario, Canada, in the north to Illinois, Indiana and Ohio in the south.

In Japan known as the Koto
In China known as guzheng or Chinese zither.
I wasn't really aware of this problem, it must be dealt with swiftly I think.
To: nickcarraway
This is a serious matter. Asian Carp are voracious eaters and wreck the natural food chain for desirable domestic fish. They need to be kept out of the Great Lakes system.
To: Elsiejay
Exactly right. No sense harping on it.

Ah, yes... the dreaded Asian Harp!
Sure, they run better than American harps - zero to dream sequence in three seconds.
But they are costing us jobs. I assume.
