Invasive water lily discovered on Killarney’s Lakes

There are concerns that a non-native plant now prevalent on the lakes of Killarney could be the new rhododendron.
The invasive fringed water lily has been discovered in bays on Lough Leane.
The National Parks and Wildlife Services has issued warning to boat owners. They have been warned not to drive through the plants and to wash boats thoroughly before landing them.
There are fears that the plant could overcome marine, animal and plant life in the lakes in much the same way rhododendron has taken over much of the National Park.
The NPWS is calling on all lake users to be vigilant and help reduce the risk of spreading the invasive species.
Officials are monitoring the lake waters and looking for ways to contain the plants spread.
Water lilies thrive in shallow waters and the waters near Ross Bay on Lough Leane, near where the plant has been found is benefiting from the high-nutrient discharges from the nearby Killarney Waste Water Plant.
