This summer, Lake Environmental Association’s Courtesy Boat Inspectors found more invasive plants during inspections than any other year.

Last summer, LEA was telling a similar story. In late August of 2025, CBIs removed invasive milfoil from 59 boats. That was three times higher than the previous year. In 2026, these numbers tripled again, with 172 invasive plants found by late August this year.
