Benefits of controlling excessive aquatic weed growth by having residents spray their shorelines:

• Swim safety. People drown every year when they become entangled in aquatic weeds.
• Open water accessibility.
• Casting or fishing from docks and shoreline.
• Aesthetics.
• Property value.
• Static weed choked waters can trap sediment accelerating shallow conditions.
• Static water facilitates algae growth that prefers quiescent waters.
• Excessive vegetation can cause stunted fish.
• Reducing exotic species like Curly-leaf pondweed improves water quality.
