Fend off Flying FishIISG-09-24 Bighead and silver carp (aka Asian carp) don’t just pose an ecological threat, they pose a safety threat to boaters, especially in waters where their numbers are thick.

IISG has a new factsheet that provides nine practical safety tips for boating in Asian carp waters that can help you protect yourself and your passengers. |
