Abstract:

Hydrilla, a green plant native to Africa, has been found in the state's waterways, including lakes in Raleigh's Umstead Park and in Wake County. The plant forms dense mats on the water that prevent fishing and boating and that offer fertile mosquito breeding grounds. It is a difficult plant to control.
