Summary

Objectives and works
The project has been ongoing since the 1990s. The lagoon has identified Cabomba infestation and in 2014 a small patch of Hygrophilla costata. Periodic fish kills occur in this site. There is also periodic spraying and harvesting of floating vegetation and fish kills.

Outcomes
Reduction of vegetation bloom in wetlands.

Benefits

This project will reduce vegetation bloom in Ululah Lagoons.
Plant material harvesting appears to reduce algal growth compared with spraying.

Lesson

Residents appear to be concerned with cyclic blooms of red azolla and algae.
