Be Plant Wise
Invasive aquatic plants can damage our ponds, waterways and the environment.
Be plant wise and don’t dump aquatic plants in the wild.
Ponds can create a wonderful feature to be enjoyed all year round and are often a haven for wildlife. However, if they are not cared for properly some pond plants can take over your pond. They can also become established in the wild, where they can smother our native plants, clog our waterways, exacerbate flooding and remove oxygen from the water, which can harm fish.

Trials have begun to examine the effectiveness of barriers to control the highly invasive Asian Clam (Corbicula fluminea) in the River Barrow. The Asian Clam was first recorded in Ireland in April 2010, near St Mullins on the River Barrow. Since that first sighting the clam has been recorded at multiple locations along the tidal reaches of the River Nore, the River Barrow and also the River Shannon.

The critical importance of biosecurity was highlighted in the international press recently with the news that a sudden fish kill of 300-500 Common Carp in Kent Lake, Michigan, U.S.A. was due to a virus passed on from the release or escape of infected ornamental fish (4th August 2011). It is suspected that the virus was the koi herpes virus (KHV), which had hitherto never been recorded in Michigan.
