The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) Invasive Management Species Branch is committed to providing technical support for the control of invasive species in our national and regional ecosystem restoration program. The water hyacinth has invaded many water systems in the south and is slowly working its way north. The management of this aggressive aquatic plant takes the three methods: biological, chemical and mechanical. USACE uses these methods to control the invasive water hyacinth. This invasive plant blocks transportation routes, threatens native species and reduces water capacity in our reservoirs.
USACE biologists not only cooperate with U.S. government agencies but also assist fellow professionals around the country and the globe. USACE delivers innovative, resilient, and sustainable solutions to the nation.
