Invasive Species: Invading Asian Carp!!!

We are still talking about invasive species so there are two things you need to do for today's assignment. Click on the Invasion!! link and work through each phase of the game.

 The object of the first part is to simulate Asian Carp going upstream and jumping out of the water hitting as many boaters as possible.

 The object of the second part is to be the elected official and determine a way to keep the Carp from invading the river.
