DEAD seagrass will be removed from Budgewoi Lake and Lake Munmorah in the coming weeks as Wyong Shire Council’s weed harvester shifts into overdrive.

In the absence of chemical pesticide treatment on Cazenovia Lake in New York this summer, crews used an aquatic weed harvester to control the invasive watermilfoil. During the four months of weed harvesting on the lake, town crews removed 354 boatloads — 2,656 tons — of invasive milfoil weeds from the lake. The harvesting also
Lake Hallie Lake Association is making some headway in the war they’ve been waging against the hybrid watermilfoil weed.
