Plant update

As some of our residents are aware, there has been a significant growth of a particular plant in a section of Ivry Bay on Lac Manitou, which growth has prevented swimming in certain parts of that bay and has clogged the propellers of some motors. The AALM has shared photos of the plant in question with a professional biologist ( based in Mont Tremblant) and we have learnt that the plant in question is an Elodea, either Elodea Candens:is or Clodea Nuttallii, that it is indigenous to Canada and not an invasive species like Milfoil. The biologist speculates that its extraordinary growth this year is likely due to the warm weather that we experienced this summer.

We are not certain if the same phenomenon will reoccur next year and based on the advice of the biologist and the volunteer work or Ken Wagner who will be photographing the growth both this fall and next year, the AALM is going to determine , based on the advice of the biologist what, if anything, needs to be done in the future.

Here is a photo of the plant in question:
