Lake Howell Vegetation
Prior to 2011- No significant vegetation
Nov 2011- Eelgrass emerging
Feb 2012 - Southern naiad emerging
July 2012 - Hydrilla emerging
Sept 2012 - Eelgrass dominant species
May 2013 - Southern naiad dominant species
Grass carp have reached end of life!

Hydrilla Action Plan
Add more grass carp
FOLH put in 1 carp per acre in 2013 and will add 1 carp per acre in 2014.
FWC requires letters of authorization to stock the lake with more than 2 carp
per acre. We need this authorization in case more carp are needed. Letters
are required from HOA’s.
Due date: Nov 15, 2014
Whole lake chemical treatment
The window of opportunity is Feb-Apr 2015 (low lake level which requires
less chemical). We need $150,000 from the lake community.
Due date: Jan 31, 2015
Slide 9
Hydrilla Action Plan
This is an extremely aggressive plan. The whole
lake treatment is contingent on the authorization to
stock additional carp AND the influx of $150,000.
If we miss this window, the next window of
opportunity is Feb-Apr 2016. In the meantime the
hydrilla will continue to expand and next summer
(2015) the entire lake will be covered with hydrilla
from the shore out to a depth of 8 feet.
Let’s get moving!!!
Slide 10
Carp Authorization Letter
I/we authorize Friends of Lake Howell (FOLH) to stock grass carp for the
purpose of controlling hydrilla and to determine the number of carp
necessary to accomplish that purpose.
It is the goal of FOLH to maintain a healthy aquatic ecosystem in the lake.
Further it is the goal of FOLH to control the hydrilla with a balance of
chemicals and carp such that the aquatic ecosystem will be maintained.
My/our financial input to FOLH will directly affect the ability of FOLH to
maintain the proper balance of chemicals and carp (chemicals cost 1000
times as much as carp).
Stocking of carp is not an exact science and there can be substantial
variation in the number of carp required from one site to another. FOLH will
take the most conservative approach that funding will permit.
Slide 11
Grass Carp Stocking Rates
“stocking rates as low as 8 fish per vegetated acre
produced complete eradication whereas rates as high
as 74 fish per vegetated acre produced no control.”
