Aquatic Plant Removal in Clear Lake, CA

I took a walk down to Library Park in Lakeport yesterday and watched the aquatic plant harvesting machines at work. The County of Lake hired this company called Aquatic Harvesting Inc. to do what they do to improve the conditions around the lake. I just hope they will work all of the heavy areas on the lake where boaters come in and out of like Soda Bay, Corinthian Bay, State Park and all of the county parks. Here is a short video clip showing these harvesting teams at work along with Lakeport Fire Department doing some equipment tests and families enjoying the day at the park.
