Why Control Aquatic Weeds?
Aquatic weed infestations adversely affect fish, wildlife, hunting, fishing, boating, recreation, irrigation and drainage. Heavy infestations may render an area unsuitable for fish by exhausting dissolved oxygen in the water, blocking sunlight essential to basic food production, by restricting the movement of fish, or by rendering shallow water unsuitable for spawning. Access to and use of ponds and lakes is reduced. Boating, swimming, skiing and other water oriented activities are hampered. Property values are reduced by excessive aquatic weed growth.
