Curuly Pondweed
Weed of the Month: Curly Leaf Pondweed

The ice may still be receding from our surface waters, but this month?s invasive species has likely already begun to grow.?*Curly Leaf Pondweed (CLP)*?is an aquatic invasive plant with green to reddish-brown wavy leaves. It grows in lakes, wetlands and other surface waters, usually in shallow water of about 15 feet deep, and growing up to 15 feet long. It can often be seen just below the surface of the water and forms large, dense populations, outcompeting native aquatic vegetation. It produces turions, or seed heads that begin to sprout in the fall.?

There are important steps for watercraft owners, to prevent the spread of CLP.
