Poison in our waterways and canals. Why?
If it is an attempt at weed control; as one who boats and fishes on our canals, I can honestly say "it doesn't work"
If the use of herbicides were effective, Margate city crews would not have to be in the canals with power driven weed cutters choping the weeds,and letting most of them float around to eventually sink and cause more problems.
The weeds and grasses are habitat for fish and birds,and letting the grasses grow would not harm anyones boating enjoyment.
Weeds and grass are a natural part of south Florida..just look at Loxahatchee,or Sawgrass and Holiday park rec areas.
Eliminate the use of poisons in our canals.
