I passed by this "Invasive Aquatic Plant Removal" crew a few years ago off of Stonedam Island. I wasn't sure if the diver was removing milfoil, just looking for it or something else. The crew consisted of one diver and two girls sunning themselves in bikinis. It looked like they were enjoying the day but made me wonder if the taxpayer funds were being used effectively.

Moultons Cove was treated in July to combat the Milfoil. By mid August Moultons Cove is usually covered, treating the cove did seem to cut down on what we normally see, looked much clearer, and a lot less milfoil visible.

I think I see a career change right here.

Not saying I necessarily agree with the way they are doing things, but at least it seems the effort they are putting in is more likely to be effective.

Have a good offseason, I doubt I'll see you at the ramp again this year since it's getting late in the season.
