Mapping Eurasian Water-Milfoil

During the summer and fall of 2023 the MPOA Board embarked on an orthomosaic surveying and mapping exercise to understand and quantify all locations of Eurasian Milfoil on the Lake. 

At that time our findings concluded that there were approximately 15 hectares of Eurasian Milfoil interspersed throughout the Lake. This area represents 5% of the habitable area (shoreline of 20 feet or less).

Unfortunately, as of Fall 2024, the quantity of colonies has increased by 17.4% (from 23 to 27 colonies) compared to last year’s survey. Based on the experiences of other Lakes, we can potentially expect 65% coverage of the habitable area (shoreline of 20 feet or less) in only 8 years.
