They’re big, they’re destructive, and they might be coming our way!

The invasive fish known as Asian carp pose one of the most serious threats to our Great Lakes. How could they impact the environment, and what can we do?

This virtual workshop will teach participants everything they need to know about Asian carp and how they may affect aquatic ecosystems in the Toronto region.
