LEMONT, IL - JANUARY 14: Capt. Jeff Bloomfield of Illinois Marine Towing steers the Windy City tow boat under a bridge January 14, 2010 near Lemont, Illinois. Because of the fear of the introduction of Asian Carp into Lake Michigan, the state of Michigan and several other states which border the Great Lakes are seeking an injunction to close locks along the Chicago Shipping and Sanitary Canal which is used to carry a reported 17 million tons of cargo annually to and from the city and serves as a link from Lake Michigan to the Illinois and Mississippi rivers. Asian Carp, an invasive species with a voracious appetite, have been migrating north from the Mississippi River since first being introduced to the waterway following flooding in the early 1990s. The Great Lakes states fear introduction of the fish into Lake Michigan will damage the tourism and fishing industries in their states.
