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.

The tussocks removed and navigation route is clear. An estimated 35-40 acres of material was removed from the Okeechobee Waterway between Moore Haven Lock and Dam, and Structure 280 (S-280). The Corps has placed a buoy line in the rim canal at S-281, just north of the Moore Haven Lock and Dam which will remain in place to prevent additional Floating vegetation from entering the federal navigation channel. Operations crews worked 12-hour days and weekend to quickly reopen the Moore Haven Lock and Dam, and navigation along the waterway.
