The S.C. Department of Natural Resources in conjunction with the Aquatic Plant Management Council is responsible for the management of nuisance aquatic vegetation in public waters. Each year an Aquatic Plant Management Plan is developed which identifies aquatic weed problem areas, describes management objectives, prescribes management strategies, and determines funding needs and sources.
To view the current plan, click on the appropriate section below. Part I is the Procedural Plan that provides an overview of the program and describes the planning process. Part II is the Annual Management Plan that lists water bodies to receive management efforts and describes in detail proposed control strategies.
