Milfoil Weed Boat

Andy | Sunday, September 26, 2021 | Best Blogger Tips
The City of Pickering has joined forces with the Pickering Harbour Company to wage war on Eurasian water-milfoil weed on Frenchman’s Bay. The spread of the non-native aquatic plant in the lakes is a continuing problem.

The weed also known as the ‘Zombie Plant’ can reduce biodiversity and water quality and poses a hazard to those using the Bay. To date, PHC has completed cutting around its docks, as well as a channel within Frenchman’s Bay to the harbour entrance breakwaters.

  6. Remarkable--- I know that non-native water plants are a problem here as well. ANd.... In our dark rainforest areas, moss grows on ALL sides. I remember from my youth around the greater San Francisco bay area, it was only the north side for sure.

  7. Hey we see those boats here too. Waterplants can become a real plague but we humans puts far too many phosphates in the water and that only promote growth.
