Sen. Brown visited the University of Toledo's Lake Erie Center to discuss efforts to combat Asian Carp. Brown was joined by Carol A. Stepien, Director of the Lake Erie Research Center who conducts research on invasive species, and Don McGee, a charter boat operator. Brown discussed his efforts to pass the CARP ACT (Close All Routes and Prevent Asian Carp Today), which would direct the Army Corps of Engineers to prevent the migration of Asian Carp into the Great Lakes.
