Indiana finishes marsh fence to stop Asian carp

Experts say flooding might let Asian carp cross from the Wabash River system into the Maumee River, which enters Lake Erie at Toledo, Ohio. That could threaten the Great Lakes' $7 billion-a-year fishing industry.

The project involves an 8-foot-tall fence held together by 123 posts and 120 concrete barriers in the Eagle Marsh near Fort Wayne.
