Defeat Asian Carp To Save Our Fisheries: Chef Philippe Parola

December 9, 2022  by Ewell Smith

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:


  • Do you have a problem you see that you want to solve to help others?
  • Have you experienced mentorship or been the mentor?
  • Are you concerned about invasive species in your region? (other invasive species - not just Asian Carp)


If you love the wildlife and want to keep the natural environment in balance, this show is for you. If you want to keep enjoying the seafood you grew up on, this show is for you. If you’re an entrepreneur, you'll appreciate the tenacity of Chef Parola running food operations and tackling this issue.
