Report Hydrilla Suspects

Think you might have found hydrilla? Tell us! Your reports are a big help toward stopping the spread of this aggressive, invasive plant. Fields with an * are required.

Note: at least one image of the plant is required (see below). Photos of plant specimens are preferred to be close up against a light/white background. One image should be close up of the plant -enough to count the number of leaves on the whorls (the “circle” of leaves coming off the main stem) and then a second image to show the edge of the leaves to better detect serrations (toothed). Maximum file size that can be uploaded is 1 MB.

The same individual may submit multiple entries. After your first submission, you will receive a message that you have already submitted this form. That does not mean you cannot submit another.

Please give the best description you can such as the municipality, body of water, GPS coordinates, landmarks, distance from shore, etc.

One photo of the plant is required. Use subsequent fields to upload additional plant photos and photos of the location -- both are VERY helpful.
