Florida Aquatic Weed Control Act

The Aquatic Weed Control Act governs the management of harmful non-native and invasive aquatic plants in a state's public waters. It provides for the official designation of species as noxious aquatic weeds and assigns control responsibilities across state government, with a lead environmental agency working alongside the state agriculture department and other agencies whose programs affect waterways. The act also grants enforcement authority and directs the responsible officials to adopt rules implementing its provisions.
