Common Carp Workshop
The Rice Creek Watershed District will be hosting a public workshop on common carp, and their affect on wildlife and water quality.
The invasive common carp has been in Minnesota Lakes since around 1900, and have spread across the state through rivers, lakes and ponds. Carp have drastically altered the ecosystems they inhabit, negatively impacting waterfowl habitat, fisheries and water quality.
Dr. Peter Sorensen (U of M) and Ann Geisen (MN DNR) will lecture on carp history, biology and their impacts on waterfowl and water quality.
The workshop will be on Saturday, September 18, at Mounds View High School Auditorium from 9 -11:30 a.m.
