Commercial fishing in the Great Lakes is already restricted.
In Michigan our recreational fishing is well managed and overall the fishing is very good.

We do need to do something about the asian carp though.
We have the invasive species in the round goby, and zebra mussels that have caused some damage but the ecosystem is slowly adapting to them, among others.

The Great Lakes is an issue for the Great Lakes states to deal with as they see fit.

An aside, lakes Michigan/Huron is one lake not 2.
Whom ever decided they are 2 separate lakes is an idiot.
