How much money does the state spend per year on Hydrilla control in Florida?
The Invasive Plant Management Section of the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FFWCC; formerly the Department of Environmental Protection’s Bureau of Invasive Plant Management) is responsible for managing aquatic plants on state waters. In the 2007/2008 fiscal year, approximately $10 million was spent by FFWCC to manage hydrilla in Florida. Almost $5 million of this was spent in Osceola County alone.
