High-tech carp battle in Minnesota lakes

Minnesota lakes are getting a high-tech upgrade in the fight against invasive carp! Scientists are now tagging these destructive fish with microchips and using smart nets that can be triggered remotely when enough carp are caught. This approach lets researchers track where carp gather and remove them efficiently, all while protecting native fish. The goal? Restore the lakes’ natural balance, boost water quality, and help local fish populations recover. It’s a long-term project, but the hope is that these efforts will make a real difference for both the environment and the community. What do you think—should more lakes try this tech-savvy solution? #Science #MinnesotaLakes #InvasiveSpecies
