WILLIAMS BAY — Environmentalists have found a new invasive plant in Geneva Lake and are seeking state funding to prevent it from disrupting boaters or other lake users.
Known as “starry stonewort,” the plant found this summer near the town of Linn is an algae that, left uncontrolled, can grow thick and dense enough to impact a lake’s recreational potential.

WILLIAMS BAY — Environmentalists have launched an effort to locate and combat a new invasive plant species that they fear has taken root in Geneva Lake.
Crews from the state Department of Natural Resource and the Geneva Lake Environmental Agency are raking plants along the lakeshore to look for evidence of an algae known as “starry stonewort.”

WILLIAMS BAY — Searchers have confirmed a new invasive plant species has taken root in Geneva Lake, although the infestation appears to be isolated to one lagoon away from the main lake area.
The algae known as “starry stonewort” appears to have settled only where it was first discovered this summer — in a lagoon near the town of Linn neighborhood known as Trinke Estates.

TOWN OF LINN — The Geneva Lake Environmental Agency wants to stop an invasive plant from infesting Geneva Lake, but the undertaking could cost more than $120,000.
Directors of the Williams-Bay based environmental agency want to dredge sediment from a lake lagoon to control its population of “starry stonewort,” an invasive algae that could cause damage to the lake if left unchecked.

TOWN OF LINN — The Geneva Lake Environmental Agency hopes to begin dredging the Trinke Estate lagoon soon to combat a new invasive species, but the agency first is looking for an alternative site to store the dredged material.
Members of the Trinke Estates Homeowners Association have told the environmental agency that they would prefer not storing the dredged material by the neighborhood’s lakefront.

In the 1990s, an unwanted intruder found its way into Geneva Lake. It was called the zebra mussel.
Warnings were issued, strategies were discussed, efforts were made. But the zebra mussel won.

WILLIAMS BAY — Plans to dredge a Geneva Lake lagoon to try removing an invasive plant species are being shelved for several months because of higher-than-expected costs.
The project was expected to cost about $160,000, but a solicitation drew only one contractor proposal, and the contractor wanted $850,000.

WILLIAMS BAY — The Geneva Lake Environmental Agency is hoping that warning buoys and herbicides will keep starry stonewort under control in Trinke Lagoon until it can be dredged out of the lake this fall.
But Trinke Lagoon will not be closed to boat traffic.

WILLIAMS BAY — An underwater search of Geneva Lake using a diver and a remote-control camera for the invasive plant species starry stonewort has produced mixed results.
Despite being treated with chemicals in June, starry stonewort has made a comeback in the Trinke Lagoon in the town of Linn, where the unwanted plant first was detected in October 2018.

WILLIAMS BAY — Trinke Lagoon will not be dredged this fall to combat the invasive plant starry stonewort, in part because the invasive plant species has been reported elsewhere in the lake.
The Geneva Lake Environmental Agency board of directors on Aug. 29 tabled the dredging option at a special meeting to consider options against the unwanted invader.

That is the assessment of Ted Peters, director of the Geneva Lake Environmental Agency, who issued a statement Sept. 9 on the status of the invasive plant effort.

WILLIAMS BAY — Inspectors will be stationed at boat launches around Geneva Lake this summer to prevent invasive species from entering or exiting the lake.
Geneva Lake Environmental Agency director Ted Peters said it will be the first time that local entities are able to fund a large-scale boat inspection effort.

WILLIAMS BAY — The Geneva Lake Environmental Agency is considering new methods of combating the invasive species starry stonewort, which was found in the lake in summer 2018.
The seaweed-like algae plant can grow into large and bushy masses, inferring with boating and other recreational activities when it reaches the lake surface. The invasive species can also force out native species and reduce the biodiversity of the lake.

WILLIAMS BAY — The Geneva Lake Environmental Agency is looking for kayakers to help with an Aug. 4-5 effort to rid the lake of the invasive plant species starry stonewort.
Divers will be hand-pulling starry stonewort from the lake bottom, and volunteer kayakers are needed to haul bags of the unwanted plants to a nearby transport boat.

WILLIAMS BAY – After two days of uprooting mounds of starry stonewort from Geneva Lake, officials say some areas have been mostly cleared, but others still have dense patches of the invasive species.
The Geneva Lake Environmental Agency organized an effort Aug. 5 and 6 to use volunteer divers to pull starry stonewort from the lake bottom by hand in two spots where the unwanted plant had become infested.

WILLIAMS BAY — Environmentalists have found a new invasive plant in Geneva Lake and are seeking state funding to prevent it from disrupting boaters or other lake users.
Known as “starry stonewort,” the plant found this summer near the town of Linn is an algae that, left uncontrolled, can grow thick and dense enough to impact a lake’s recreational potential.

WILLIAMS BAY — Environmentalists have launched an effort to locate and combat a new invasive plant species that they fear has taken root in Geneva Lake.
Crews from the state Department of Natural Resource and the Geneva Lake Environmental Agency are raking plants along the lakeshore to look for evidence of an algae known as “starry stonewort.”

WILLIAMS BAY — Searchers have confirmed a new invasive plant species has taken root in Geneva Lake, although the infestation appears to be isolated to one lagoon away from the main lake area.
The algae known as “starry stonewort” appears to have settled only where it was first discovered this summer — in a lagoon near the town of Linn neighborhood known as Trinke Estates.

TOWN OF LINN — The Geneva Lake Environmental Agency wants to stop an invasive plant from infesting Geneva Lake, but the undertaking could cost more than $120,000.
Directors of the Williams-Bay based environmental agency want to dredge sediment from a lake lagoon to control its population of “starry stonewort,” an invasive algae that could cause damage to the lake if left unchecked.

TOWN OF LINN — The Geneva Lake Environmental Agency hopes to begin dredging the Trinke Estate lagoon soon to combat a new invasive species, but the agency first is looking for an alternative site to store the dredged material.
Members of the Trinke Estates Homeowners Association have told the environmental agency that they would prefer not storing the dredged material by the neighborhood’s lakefront.

WILLIAMS BAY — Plans to dredge a Geneva Lake lagoon to try removing an invasive plant species are being shelved for several months because of higher-than-expected costs.
The project was expected to cost about $160,000, but a solicitation drew only one contractor proposal, and the contractor wanted $850,000.

WILLIAMS BAY — The Geneva Lake Environmental Agency is hoping that warning buoys and herbicides will keep starry stonewort under control in Trinke Lagoon until it can be dredged out of the lake this fall.
But Trinke Lagoon will not be closed to boat traffic.

WILLIAMS BAY — An underwater search of Geneva Lake using a diver and a remote-control camera for the invasive plant species starry stonewort has produced mixed results.
Despite being treated with chemicals in June, starry stonewort has made a comeback in the Trinke Lagoon in the town of Linn, where the unwanted plant first was detected in October 2018.

WILLIAMS BAY — Trinke Lagoon will not be dredged this fall to combat the invasive plant starry stonewort, in part because the invasive plant species has been reported elsewhere in the lake.
The Geneva Lake Environmental Agency board of directors on Aug. 29 tabled the dredging option at a special meeting to consider options against the unwanted invader.

WILLIAMS BAY — Inspectors will be stationed at boat launches around Geneva Lake this summer to prevent invasive species from entering or exiting the lake.
Geneva Lake Environmental Agency director Ted Peters said it will be the first time that local entities are able to fund a large-scale boat inspection effort.

WILLIAMS BAY — The Geneva Lake Environmental Agency is considering new methods of combating the invasive species starry stonewort, which was found in the lake in summer 2018.
The seaweed-like algae plant can grow into large and bushy masses, inferring with boating and other recreational activities when it reaches the lake surface. The invasive species can also force out native species and reduce the biodiversity of the lake.

WILLIAMS BAY — The Geneva Lake Environmental Agency is looking for kayakers to help with an Aug. 4-5 effort to rid the lake of the invasive plant species starry stonewort.
Divers will be hand-pulling starry stonewort from the lake bottom, and volunteer kayakers are needed to haul bags of the unwanted plants to a nearby transport boat.

WILLIAMS BAY – After two days of uprooting mounds of starry stonewort from Geneva Lake, officials say some areas have been mostly cleared, but others still have dense patches of the invasive species.
The Geneva Lake Environmental Agency organized an effort Aug. 5 and 6 to use volunteer divers to pull starry stonewort from the lake bottom by hand in two spots where the unwanted plant had become infested.
