In November 2016, GORA presented a three-phase strategy to Municipal Council to prevent invasive species from entering our lakes. We had attended a Public Forum where we had learned about the harmful effect of invasive species, particularly those caused by the Eurasian water milfoil plant. This plant survives in a lake by destroying all other native plants, which leads to a total decline in the lake’s oxygen levels. Not only would this result in the loss of fish life, the lake water itself would be very unpleasant for both swimming and boating. We also learned that once a lake is infested with invasive species, it is incredibly difficult (if not impossible) to completely eradicate them. Here are a couple samples of efforts to combat the spread of the invasive Eurasian Water Milfoil plant that were in the news in 2018. Check out these articles:
