Is everywhere on Santee. Large mats are forming in slot of places around the lake.
I'm not sure if it's Common or Giant Salvinia.

It's Giant Salvinia. After watching the damage in Louisiana over the last 20 years, there is nothing worse that GS in a waterway. I'm so thankful that the horribly invasive monoculture hydrilla has been essentially eradicated from our public waters so now a new even more nasty invasive with ZERO benefits can now take over.
Listen to your elders. Not because they are always right but because they have more experiences of being wrong.

Friends were down fishing over the weekend and said a mat over a hundred yards long had made it almost to the canal. Oh, and the fishing sucked. Not good........

800 carp per acre should be a good start.
“Grass carp only eating giant salvinia died,” Sanders said. “Giant salvinia contains a metabolic toxin.”

My next suggestion was hippopotamuses, https://www.thenewsstar.com/story/li...ways/71621410/ but sounds like we might as well just knock some holes in the GSX/Laidlaw/SafetyKleen liners and let it all flow. That should take care of any salvinia worries...
They are lowering a lake in LA a whopping 50 percent to try and stop the spread. That's some bad stuff!
