Abstract:

Hydrilla and alligator weed are two exotic plants that are getting a chokehold on the state's waterways. Hydrilla forms dense mats on waterways that prevent fishing and boating. Alligator weed functions in the same manner, but it can also establish itself on land with devastating effect. Ashley discusses what is being done to control these invasive plants.
