Asian carp are perilously close to getting into Lake Michigan through Chicago-area rivers and canals.

We all know this is an urgent threat. The carp are an invasive species, and they're huge -- they can grow to be four feet long and weigh 100 pounds. If they get into the lake, they'll devastate the ecosystem and push out native species, irrevocably changing our fishing, swimming and sailing habits.

We need to act now to stop the Asian carp before it's too late.

To stop them, the locks in Chicago need to be immediately closed, and we need a long-term plan to prevent the carp from invading the lake.

Now is the time to write to our elected officials everywhere to stop the carp. A sample letter is a click away, just click on the Take Action button to the right to go to that sample.

Welcome to The Door County Environmental Council

The Door County Environmental Council, Inc., informally known as "DCEC", was founded in 1969 and incorporated as a Federal 501c3 educational nonprofit organization in 1971. Even then, caring citizens could see looming threats to the county's waters, bays, wild shores, bluffs, sand dunes, woodlands, wetlands, farms, orchards and fields.

Realizing that unrestrained commercial development and suburbanization would be disastrous for this beautiful section of the Niagara Escarpment, DCEC became an active force for preservation and protection.
