Custom Description:

An infestation of the "worst of the worst" freshwater aquatic plants was recently found by a citizen scientist in Damariscotta Lake. Hydrilla is a submersed plant that grows dense mats and clogs waterways. It's a master at reproduction, employing flowers, turions, tubers and fragmentation. The Darariscotta Lake infestation was expertly documented by iSpyaSign. More early detection, please!
