A study recently conducted by the Cleveland Metroparks Aquatic Invasive Species Project under the auspices of the Great Lakes Restoration Initiative determined that non-native European water clover has become established in our lake. To date, it has not been detected elsewhere in the Ohio Lake Erie watershed, so this is a finding of concern. In partnership with the Ohio Department of Natural Resources the project has a goal of early detection and rapid response action against new aquatic invasive species located in the watershed in an effort to contain its spread.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
European water clover has been primarily found in Plum Creek Cove, Cherrywood Cove, Fisherman\u2019s Cove, Beachview Cove, Sugar Creek Cove, Spanish Cove, and the east and west sides of the south end of the lake. On Tuesday, August 18th, the Project team will be returning to our lake to spot treat these infested areas with an EPA-approved aquatic herbicide in an effort to prevent further spread of this invasive species both within our lake and the Lake Erie watershed. There will be no cost to the RRA for this treatment. The primary restriction associated with this herbicide is to wait 24 hours following the application before using lake water for lawn and other irrigation purposes. Lake Management and the RRA Maintenance Department will continue to monitor the lake and evaluate the control of this species.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
