BREAKING: European frog-bit has now invaded our community. EFB is infesting the Grand River near Waverly and Moore's River Drive. MMCISMA also reports EFB on the Looking Glass River near Babcock's Landing.
European frog-bit is an aggressive, invasive aquatic plant. You'll know it by its floating, coin-size leaves and tiny tri-petal flowers.
EFB explodes into a monoculture quickly. Without its co-evolved predators, it forms massive, dense mats. EFB eats up all the light and space and oxygen, which chokes out our native plants, fish, and birds. It also ruins recreational areas for fishers and hunters and boaters, snagging fishing lines, harming wildlife populations, and stopping up boat props. This stuff is bad news for our Great Lakes.
Everyone, please keep an eye out for EFB to remove & report while out on the water this summer. And always aim to CLEAN, DRAIN, DRY!
