I wanted to put out a call to all the local fishermen who might venture online, to get your perspective on the invasive plant issue. While surfing some of the fishing forums, I came across some interesting comments and questions like: “Why hasn’t anyone told us about this before?” That in reference to the problem of giant salvinia.
I would like to get your comments and concerns on this issue. Feel free to comment on this blog.
Aquatic weeds are one of our biggest problems in Texas lakes, they limit water intake, and can pose obstacles and hazards to recreational use.
According to the National Invasive Species Information Center the cost in damage and control from invasive species in the United States annually is at least 100 billion dollars. A very large portion of this is aquatic weed damage and control cost.
I would love to get your perspective.
