Our Mission: Turn the Aquatic Weeds problem into a blessing.
ABSTRACT:
Water hyacinth (Eichornia crassipes and related species) has been called the worst aquatic plant in the world, the “Beautiful Blue Devil,” A Pariah, A Menace to Commerce, A Plague! It is native to South America, but has been naturalized in most of the southern United States and in many of the world's subtropical and tropical climates.
Water hyacinth plants have a tremendous growth and reproductive rate and the free-floating mats cause substantial problems for people living in its growing area. Millions of dollars are spent each month for its removal and suppression. For a long time people have tried to controlled this plant through a number of methods including removal as waste, using aquatic herbicides, and using biological control agents.
We propose, instead of suppression, removal and waste management; to harvest the Hyacinth and use all of its components to make various commercial products. We know how to do this now. Not only will our approach solve the Water Hyacinth problem in many tropical and subtropical countries, but it will also generate new products, local jobs, and economic development.
