Looks like the states will be getting more funding to spray the duck food.

Let 'em spray......in every state but Florida!!!
That'll help prevent the short-stopping of boids up north of us!! ;) :D

[Steve W]

Well, that is one way to look at it.

:confused: If hydrilla is so bad why is it so critical to make the STA's work properly? If more lakes had it I think Florida would have a lot cleaner bunch of waterways!

[N. Cook]

The SFWMD would like to find another plant as good as hydrilla and is experimenting with a variety of native vegetation.......

We will never be able to stop the hydrilla spraying...but can hope for some improvement in the planning and timing by the different agencies involved.
