I grew up in Grand Haven when a large sandy, sun warmed beach was a constant in summer. With Asian carp taking the food source from the fish in Lake Michigan, dead fish along the shore will be a constant thing and because of the smell and presence of dead and dying fish, swimming and sunning will be a thing of memories; a waste of a perfectly wonderful beach. And, there are many like it around the lake.

The only responsible action for the Obama administration to take is that of immediately closing the locks to keep any more Asian Carp from coming into the lake and then taking the time to study the situation and come up with a lasting solution Ralph D. Bolhouse, Ann Arbor
