The Invasive Carp Regional Coordinating Committee is made up of 26 organizations in the United States and Canada committed to working together to protect the Great Lakes from the threat of invasive carp.
Across the Great Lakes basin, our membership includes state, provincial, federal, tribal and municipal government agencies and bi-national commissions. We come together to coordinate invasive carp management under our existing authorities. We leverage our expertise and resources to maximize our impact. Each year we adapt and refine our ongoing projects based on what we have learned.
Together, we will hold fast to our shared commitment to protect our treasured Great Lakes.

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.
