Invasive carp can cause serious damage to ecosystems. They threaten native wildlife - including the Clear Lake hitch, a culturally significant fish for the tribes who have lived along the lake and its tributaries for thousands of years. Carp also kick up sediment, unlocking nutrients from the lake bottom that fuel harmful blooms of algae. In spring of 2023, a team began an assessment of Clear Lake’s carp population to determine where to best target the fish for removal in the fall.
