The Mississippi Interstate Cooperative Resource Association
The Invasive Carp Regional Coordinating Committee is not the only partnership confronting the invasive carp threat. In fact, dozens of partners have formed additional regional partnerships throughout the Mississippi River basin to coordinate invasive carp management. There are six partnerships organized for the main sub-basins of the Mississippi River, all under the umbrella of the Mississippi Interstate Cooperative Resource Association. Independently and altogether, these partnerships are among the largest coordinated conservation efforts in North America.

U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Great Lakes and Mississippi River Interbasin Study
The Great Lakes and Mississippi River Interbasin Study, produced by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, presents a range of options to prevent invasive species movement between the Mississippi River and Great Lakes basins through aquatic pathways. The study focuses on the Chicago Area Waterway System, the only continuous connection between the two basins, and other intermittent connections along the 1,500-mile-long basin divide.
