Left alone during the Duck
Hunting Season and fishing
tournaments season.
Area to be monitored and
re-evaluate in Jan/Feb 2021 for
a March 2021 treatment to
promote the expansion of
desirable native submerged
aquatic plants to encourage

If access from Haines Creek is
compromised, a navigational
trail will be treated before
March 2021
Native submersed plants
such as:
• Southern Naiad
• Eelgrass
• Pondweed
• Coontail
