The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) will conduct aquatic plant control on Lake Apopka in Lake and Orange counties starting the week of April 17. The FWC will treat invasive hydrilla in the lake in areas where it is encroaching on beneficial native submersed aquatic plants and could impact access to navigation. On March 8, the FWC hosted a public meeting regarding hydrilla management on Lake Apopka and gathered input from a wide variety of user groups and stakeholders. FWC staff reviewed public input and assessed the available funding to create a plan for spring hydrilla control.
