Dear Residents, sailors, rowers, skiers, swimmers, paddlers, birders and fisherpersons

We have a problem in Zeekoevlei and need your help…

What could happen if nothing is done…

The False Bay nature reserve has recently discovered water hyacinth in Zeekoevlei. We have been conducting water hyacinth checks and removal for about 4 weeks and it seems that the water hyacinth is restricted to the northern section of Zeekoevlei up by the Big Lotus river mouth. The False Bay nature reserve would like to ask that if anyone sees any hyacinth in Zeekoevlei, could they please notify us of the finding and remove it from the vlei. If they are unable to remove the hyacinth from the vlei, please contact Victoria Day and arrangements will be made to come and remove it.

Thank you

Kind regards,

Victoria Day
