Arnolds Park, IA (KICD)– On Friday you heard from Iowa DNR Fisheries Biologist Mike Hawkins talking about efforts to keep invasive species out of the Iowa Great Lakes. Last year, though, an aggressive weed was confirmed.

Hawkins tells KICD News testing indicates the issue has been eradicated.

If Eurasian Water Milfoil does resurface, Hawkins says they’ll use more aggressive methods to kill it.
