I worked for the illinois department of natural resources in 2009-2012 when the
carp problem was at a fever pitch. Charters and recreational boating was at an all
time low because the carp would jump into boats and injure passengers

One possible extreme measure not yet taken is a full on dry span with conveyors,
dragging barges out of the water, over a mesh barrier and through pressure jets,
into the other side

I work on a river boat and pass through there on occasion pushing barges. When we
pass through, we have to run a steel wire from our boat to the barge that we're
faced up to because there is a layer of rubber between the boat and the barges.
This is to provide continuity of the electricity. When we pass through the arch
that is behind Scott in several of the shots, you can see the electricity arcing
between the boat and the arch.

It's so sad the damage that invasive species can cause because they were introduced
as a quick fix to a problem. I'm sure that most Aussies know about Cane toads, but
they were introduced to deal with cane beetles. Unfortunately their toxins kill a
lot of native animals and they now can be found all over eastern Australia. Humans
can make such a huge impact with small decisions.

The Great Lakes have already taken a beating from invasive species. In fact, the
sport fishing industry on the Lakes developed in part as an effort to restore the
ecosystem after previous invasions destroyed the commercial fisheries. The book
"The Death and Life of the Great Lakes" by Dan Egan covers it very well.

I think the idea of adding miniature "locks" makes a lot of sense. Bring the barge
in, shut the door, shock the crap out of anything in the water with EXTREME
voltages, the open the other door and send it on it's way. If power goes out, the
door is still there. A few strategic high pressure pipes/gates will keep things out
of the lock area when not open and maintain water flow.

I’ve lived in IL for most of my life, and I NEVER knew how invasive the carp were,
nor did I put two and two together that there are tons of carp in the rivers, but
none in the Great Lakes. this is so interesting!

love that @1:22 Tom happens to be standing right in front of an Ailanthus altissima
(aka Tree of Heaven) sapling, a horribly invasive tree that we brought over as an
ornamental garden plant, and is currently doing much of the same as the carp he's
talking about
