    Mostly wanting to control the stuff underwater, if i can get it identified i can get something to control. The large and small pads are easy i think

    I’m no expert on this topic. I’d try some mechanical control before doing a mass kill with chemicals.

    You’re showing multiple species

    Eurasian Milfoil: non-native
    Floating Heart: native
    Some species of naiad
    Be proactive about improving public waterfowl habitat in South Carolina. It's not going to happen by itself, and our help is needed. We have the potential to winter thousands of waterfowl on public grounds if we fight for it.
