Hello,

Lake Koronis, Stearns Co., Minnesota has been maintaining channels for navigation, which have been effective for reducing biomass. Re-growth of starry stonewort is still problematic so multiple trips with a mechanical harvester may be required throughout the growing season. Fragmentation can occur with both boats and a mechanical harvester, therefore; I still would recommend using a mechanical harvester to alleviate the problem areas. Feel free to contact me directly for further insights.
