Fighting Invasive Curlyleaf Pondweed with Aquatic Plant Harvester

Mechanical Lake Weed Harvester

The Iowa Department of Natural Resources is working to manage an invasive plant in the Iowa Great Lakes.

As the ice melts, the DNR plans to tackle about 80 acres curlyleaf pondweed in East Okoboji Lake using an aquatic herbicide and an aquatic weed harvester boat that cuts and harvests the weeds. The DNR’s Mike Hawkins says there’s no way to destroy the weed completely, but they’ll clear as much as they can to improve lake access.
