Abstract:
Hydrilla, an invasive species to North Carolina's coastal waters, is being examined by North Carolina Sea Grant specialists in conjunction with Chowan Edenton Environment Group (CEEG) and the Chowan Soil and Water Conservation District in order to reduce the spread. Along with this project, North Carolina is developing an Aquatic Nuisance Species Plan to deal with such invasive species.

Abstract:
Hydrilla is a fast growing aquatic plant creating dense surface mats which impede water flow in canals, reduce water storage in reservoirs, and interfere with recreation and navigation. In 1980, hydrilla was found in Big Lake, located in North Carolina’s Umstead State Park. Research is currently being done to determine how to enact effective hydrilla management.
