Milfoil Dive October 2005 Photo Page This was an exploratory dive conducted next to the causeway on the east end of the lake. This was intended to allow the the association to become more familiar with the processes and logistics behind successful hand harvesting. We learned that after a short time, bottom sediment turbidity makes effective work impractical forcing divers to move on to a new section of bed while the sediment settles. We also learned that there is ~50% more milfoil on the bottom than was originally indicate by the GPS survey in 2003; as well as the fact that even with 3 divers in the water, the process is still extremely slow.
