Message from Tina Donaldson, Community Resilience Advisor, Asset Performance Team – Lower Thames.
It is currently Invasive Species Week, organised by the Non Native Species Secretariat of which Defra is a member. With this in mind, I wanted to let you know what we are doing about managing Floating Pennywort on the Thames. Floating Pennywort is an invasive species of aquatic plant that can spread very quickly and cause serious problems in our rivers.
If you have any questions or concerns about floating pennywort or other invasive species in the local area please contact the Environment Agency.
