Aquatic Weed ID Guide
Cabomba
(Cabomba caroliniana)
Cabomba is a submerged aquatic plant recognized for its delicate, fan-shaped leaves that are oppositely arranged along the stem. Each submerged leaf is finely dissected into narrow segments, while occasional undissected leaves may float on the water’s surface. This plant can spread rapidly, forming dense underwater mats that compete with native vegetation, reduce water flow, and interfere with recreational activities. Due to its fast growth and ability to propagate through fragments, early detection and proper management are essential to prevent its spread and maintain a balanced aquatic ecosystem.
