Variable-leaf milfoil clean-up: week 2

Aquatic Invasive Management divers completed the removal of the .4 acre colony of VLM by Wednesday last week, proceeding to a full sweep of the lake bed on Paradox Bay. By yesterday morning they were ready to head out into East Lake to pursue fragments that had escaped over the course of the past month. By the end of the day the team had covered the eastern shoreline of East Lake from Paradox Bay north to Pulpit Rock. Few fragments were found. The team will finish scanning the shallows along the eastern shore and northern bays then cover the eastern edges of the peninsula, Buck, Moose and Hawk Islands before wrapping up work Friday. They will return after Labor Day for a second sweep of the lake.
