Comments[FL FWCC] Surveyed surrounding waterbodies. Did not find any plants in the lake to the north (Lake Crenshaw) that flows into Saddleback Lake by a direct surface connected canal. However, we did find plants leaving the surface canal on the outlet from Saddleback. Though, this turns into sheetflow through a wetland before becoming a defined flow again into Lake Zambito. No plants found south of the wetland in the creek to Zambito, none found in Zambito, none found in surrounding waters. Entire waterbody chemically treated in 12/18/2017. Surveys and re-treatments occurred in 2018. Dioecious female.
