While not a problem yet, invasive aquatic species, including the Silver Carp, can threaten our lake ecosystem, recreation, and tourism activities. Not only is this species dangerous and threatening to our recreational activities, but it is already impacting lakes in nearby states. In an effort to preserve our lake ecosystem, we need to work together using best clean boating and fishing practices to prevent them from migrating to Lake Guntersville.
