Why is it important?
Understanding these effects can improve programs and policies to addresses the water hyacinth menace. A study of water hyacinth invasion issues can also assist government and non government organizations to assist communities and individuals whose livelihood activities have been affected by the invasion.
Perspectives
Undertaking the fieldwork for this publication was really educative. For the first time I commuted on the River Tano and Abby-Tano Lagoon with my co-authors. I really appreciated the dynamics about invasive species including water hyacinth, water lettuce and water ferns.
