Giant Salvinia

The Giant Salvinia is an invasive plant in which Lewisville Lake residents do not have to be highly cautious of. But the main problems this plant causes elsewhere are as follows:
-blocks sunlight for plants underneath it
-reduces crop production in certain areas
-prevents natural exchange of gas between water and air
-grows rapidly
In order to prevent the spreading of this plant elsewhere, there are bans on selling, transporting, spreading, and relocating of this plant.
