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.

In summary, our findings conclude that as of the date of the survey (2023) there are approximately 15 hectares of Eurasian Milfoil interspersed throughout the Lake. This area represents 5% of the habitable area (shoreline of 20 feet or less). However, 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.

For this reason, doing nothing is not an option! The MPOA Board is wasting no time in executing the Eurasian Water Milfoil Action plan detailed in our annual Newsletters and in our Annual General Meetings and Slide Presentations, since Eurasian Water Milfoil was discovered by our past Lake Steward in 2022.
