Mississippi River water hyacinth, water lettuce and parrot feather, oh my!
In recent years, three invasive species of aquatic plants have been found in Pool 5 of
the Mississippi River near Buffalo City, WI. Water hyacinth and water lettuce were first found in 2011 in Pool 5; in 2012 parrot feather was found in an isolated bay of Pool 5. Thousands of water lettuce and water hyacinth plants were found in Pool 5 in 2011 and by 2012 the populations exploded into the tens of thousands.

Lake hidden beneath a blanket of weeds
Photo Vicki Wood / Caboolture News
WATCHING birds walk on water has become an all too regular sight for Upper Caboolture resident Geoff Clayson. Only the birds aren’t actually walking on water, they’re making their way across a thick blanket of weed covering the lake which backs onto Mr Clayson’s property. Caboolture News first visited Mr Clayson’s property in June 2011 where glimpses of the lake could be seen beneath a sea of two pest weeds: Salvinia and water lettuce. Fast forward 18 months and the weed is still making its presence felt.

Ms Ayittey commissions two weeds harvesters and transport barges at Kpong
Two weed harvesters and two transport barges for harvesting water weeds were on Wednesday commissioned at Kpong in the Eastern Region to assist in reducing the spread of invasive water plants.
The commissioning formed part of the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)’s initiative dubbed “Ghana Integrated Management of Invasive Aquatic Weeds Project” which is funded by the African Development Bank (AfDB).
It aims at controlling water weeds which include hyacinth, water lettuce and Kariba weeds in Tano and Volta rivers.
