Abstract:

The Eno River has recently become full of hydrilla verticillata, an invasive species of aquatic weed from South Asia. It grows too plentifully in North Carolina, causing rivers to become sluggish, competing with local species, decreasing oxygen levels in rivers, amongst other things. The leaders of Eno State park are looking for ways to better contain hydrilla, with some success.
