waterworld of invaders

Here is the underwater weed world in Braddock Bay, NY - a vast tangle of Eurasian watermilfoil (Myriophyllum spicatum) . . . . water chestnut (Trapa natans) . . . Curlyleaf pondweed (Potamogeton crispus) . . . fanwort (Cabomba carolina). . . duck weed or something like little green floating dots. There are both invasive plants and animals and the USDA National Agricultural Library knows, so does Cornell Cooperative Extension's Sea Grant.

Besides the weeds, there are perch, carp, pike, bowfin and little minnows that are so cute. -- posted by Barbara
