Notre Dame will be joining the fight against Asian carp in the Great Lakes, thanks to a grant from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Association.

NOAA has awarded $2.5 million to Notre Dame and its research partners to predict the next wave of invasive species in the Great Lakes and identify ways to keep them out.

Zebra mussels are already a problem, but carp are the new big threat.

The money will go toward finding a new way to keep the fish out without closing waterways connecting Chicago's canals to Lake Michigan.
