Invasive Plant Discovered in Coventry Lake by UConn Students

COVENTRY, Conn. (AP) _ State officials say they’re concerned about the discovery of a highly invasive aquatic plant in Coventry Lake in Coventry.
A University of Connecticut aquatic plant biology class found several plant fragments of Hydrilla, which is not native to the U.S. and was likely first introduced to the country in the 1950s. It has become a major problem in southeastern states and is beginning to spread into the northeast.
