Comments | only saw in two limited locations (see map). Have not seen it in subsequent years, though no control methods were used. Presumed eradicated.; Weather overcast, light breeze to calm. Saw bald eagle, freshwater sponges, rough skin newt, bryozoans, mystery snails (collected shell). Did careful inventory for egeria (> 5 hours), only found it in two areas. Visibility was compromised by glare so collected many samples with the rake. Signs at launch areas warning of toxic algae bloom, saw dieing scum on north shore. Water level seems normal. |
