Hydrilla, Purple Loosestrife, Water Hyacinth and Water Lettuce are all problems in Texas because they are all invasive plants. All of these plants rapily reproduce and create problems for waterways. Hydrilla, Water Hyacinth and Water Lettuce all impede navigation which stops recreational activities such as fishing and boating. Hydrilla, Purple Lossestrife and Water Hyacinth all shade out natural vegetation which depeltes oxygen from the water because no sunlight can penetrate through the invasive plants. Hydrilla is the perfect weed and can grow an inch a day, which is why it is a big threat in Texas waters. Purple Loosestrife is the Marsh Monster which clogs irrigation canals. Water Hyacinth is the World's Worst Weed (other than Salvinia) and acidifies the water. Lastly, Water Lettuce affects the habitats for the living organisms in the ecosystem. All of these INVADERS need to be stopped so if you see one, PULL IT OUT OF THE WATER!!!!!!
