Chef Philippe Parola - Invasive Species Expert - Asian Carp are threatening the seafood we all love. Chef has a solution.
In this episode Chef Philippe Parola shares how Asian Carp are destroying native seafood populations and how to stop them.
Asian Carp may very well may rob you too of the seafood you grew up on from the bayous in Louisiana to the Great Lakes in Illinois.
If the Asian Carp crisis is not strategically addressed, it will continue to escalate and devastate more commercial fisheries across the U.S. Chef Philippe Parola is on a mission rooted in educating the public to solve this crisis.
In this episode, he’s offering up a strategy to address the Asian Carp crisis hidden below the surface of our waters.
So far the federal government’s efforts have yielded very poor results. That’s despite trying to poison the fish, electrocute the fish, and building dams.
3 questions for you:
