Heather Inzalaco, the lead researcher for the study from the University of Wisconsin-Madison, said she came across the issue, and once she started learning more about it, she didn’t look back.

Brad Gausman grew up with the mentality of always leaving something better than he found it. Whether it was his career, his education, or his love for the outdoors, he always wants to improve on the status quo.
Gausman has been the executive director of the Minnesota Conservation Federation for the past three years, and he’s seen the organization grow. Early on in his career, Gausman wasn’t considering conservation, but a desire to learn more about outdoors issues delivered him to the business of natural resources and the Minnesota Conservation Federation.

Asian carp have been seen jumping near Lock and Dam 5 during the past couple of weeks, and the development has generated new concerns about their future in Minnesota waters of the Mississippi River.
After state legislators discussed a barrier at Lock and Dam 5 during the 2023 legislative session, they eventually decided to fund surveys and research rather than building the barrier. Dr. Peter Sorensen, professor and carp expert at the University of Minnesota, said it’s concerning to see the number of carp near Lock and Dam 5, which is 10 miles northwest of Winona.
