The Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (DNR) has proposed a plan to combat the invasive carp invasion. This plan, dubbed “Carp Control 2.0,” focuses on a multi-pronged approach that combines traditional methods with innovative technologies. The plan aims to reduce the carp population by 50% within the next five years.

## Carp: The Perfect Food? Jim Garvey, a zoology professor at Southern Illinois University, believes carp are a perfect food option. He argues that carp are high in protein and flavorful, making them a desirable choice for consumers. However, he acknowledges the challenge of removing the bones before consumption. Garvey’s perspective aligns with the growing trend of sustainable food choices.
