With respect to Flowering-rush (Butomus umbellatus) / Aquatic plant being designated as restricted. I submit that the appropriate designation for this INVASIVE species should be PROHIBITED 🚫. As a cottage owner in the Winnipeg river system I can attest to the alarming spread of this plant. It has taken hold in front of our property, threatening to overtake where we observe every spring walleye and muskellunge spawning..an amazing sight!! It also is choking out the bay where we store our docks for the winter and making boating and swimming almost impossible. We are seeing it popping up everywhere along the shore. Please reconsider and designate Flowering-rush (Butomus umbellatus) / Aquatic plant as a PROHIBITED 🚫 species.
