Abstract
A benthic geotextile was used to trial the management of invasive Nuttall’s pondweed (Elodea nuttallii) in Lough Arrow, a Natura 2000 site. Two experimental areas (800 m² total) were treated with single and double layers of jute textile, reducing E. nuttallii cover by >60% without significantly impacting native charophytes.
