State officials dumped 11,000 aquatic lawn mowers into the North New River Canal as part of a regional effort to keep South Florida's drainage system flowing. The farm-raised grass carp devour hydrilla — fast-spreading aquatic plants that aren't native to Florida and threaten to clog the vast system of canals that protect South Florida from flooding. About 59,000 grass carp will be helping clear hydrilla from canals. By Andy Reid, Sun Sentinel, 12/2011

..I went fishing [well actually my friend and I call it "night fishing", we go out at night and net gar and release them back out into the lake, very fun ] with a friend of mine on saturday i believe it was, and we found a collection of booze bottles, shampoo bottles, and shaving cream cans. It makes me sick thinking that people throw trash out into a community lake!
