Michigan HR0077 urges Illinois Governor JB Pritzker to resume construction of the Brandon Road Interbasin Project to prevent Asian carp from entering.

Michigan HR0077 is a resolution urging Illinois Governor JB Pritzker to resume construction of the Brandon Road Interbasin Project. This project aims to prevent the spread of Asian carp into the Great Lakes, which threatens the seven-billion-dollar commercial and recreational fishing industry. The invasive carp species, introduced in the 1970s, have escaped into waterways and are now within forty-seven miles of Lake Michigan. The project is funded by the federal government, Illinois, and Michigan, with Michigan contributing seventy-three and a half million dollars over five years.
