The MeatEater Podcast
Ep. 873: Clovis First, Saving The Great Lakes, and the World’s Largest Wildlife Crossing

Like it's just, it's a giant piece of it.

The MeatEater Podcast
Ep. 873: Clovis First, Saving The Great Lakes, and the World’s Largest Wildlife Crossing

So it's very hard to do is what I'm trying to say.

The MeatEater Podcast
Ep. 873: Clovis First, Saving The Great Lakes, and the World’s Largest Wildlife Crossing

You know what he was trying to say by saying that is that it's just such a giant piece of water and you're trying to manage it.

The MeatEater Podcast
Ep. 873: Clovis First, Saving The Great Lakes, and the World’s Largest Wildlife Crossing

And yes, in some ways it's like an experiment, but I think that it's like, you can't really control the experiment.

The MeatEater Podcast
Ep. 873: Clovis First, Saving The Great Lakes, and the World’s Largest Wildlife Crossing

Yeah, it's interesting because I think it was like a penny per dollar spent on those carp.

The MeatEater Podcast
Ep. 873: Clovis First, Saving The Great Lakes, and the World’s Largest Wildlife Crossing

One penny is spent on trying to deal with the muscles.

The MeatEater Podcast
Ep. 873: Clovis First, Saving The Great Lakes, and the World’s Largest Wildlife Crossing

So it's just like, for whatever reason, it's not top of mind.

The MeatEater Podcast
Ep. 873: Clovis First, Saving The Great Lakes, and the World’s Largest Wildlife Crossing

Because I don't know how, like,

The MeatEater Podcast
Ep. 873: Clovis First, Saving The Great Lakes, and the World’s Largest Wildlife Crossing

Well, a couple of the other things that they're, that they're testing and researching now, as far as getting rid of these muscles is, um,

The MeatEater Podcast
Ep. 873: Clovis First, Saving The Great Lakes, and the World’s Largest Wildlife Crossing

One is a, they're literally, they have a, like they're developing these scraping machines that will literally go in and scrape these reefs clean to create, so that they hopefully can have habitat where these whitefish can do their spawning.

Scrape and crush.

The other thing that's getting thrown out there and messed with and they're researching if it works is suffocating.

The MeatEater Podcast
Ep. 873: Clovis First, Saving The Great Lakes, and the World’s Largest Wildlife Crossing

They're like going down in there with tarps and covering, you know, large areas with tarps and

The MeatEater Podcast

because they produce carbon dioxide.

The MeatEater Podcast
Ep. 873: Clovis First, Saving The Great Lakes, and the World’s Largest Wildlife Crossing

And so if they can't get that fresh water in there, it literally, it suffocates them.

The MeatEater Podcast
Ep. 873: Clovis First, Saving The Great Lakes, and the World’s Largest Wildlife Crossing

I guess.

The MeatEater Podcast
Ep. 873: Clovis First, Saving The Great Lakes, and the World’s Largest Wildlife Crossing

I haven't had that.

The MeatEater Podcast
Ep. 873: Clovis First, Saving The Great Lakes, and the World’s Largest Wildlife Crossing

I know that's a thing that you get, but I haven't had that.

The MeatEater Podcast
