    Cool What's up with all the duckweed at Peacock 1?

    I have never seen duckweed at peacock1.

    Also at Jackson Blue. This is only the second year I've seen it there.

    Duckweek helps the clarity of some sinks. It's carried into new ones on the gear of divers.

    That is why Jug Hole and Emerald have the policy of cleaning the gear of nonindigenous species,and Jug Hole is supposed to have a ranger inspect the gear.

    Dang! Janet leaves and 2 months later everything goes to hell.

    OG and Peacock have both been around a long time. With all the floods and all the divers, seems strange only now Peacock has duck weed.

    The problem is I see diver after diver not eating the recommended 8oz before and after each dive. If everyone would do their part, it would be gone quickly.

    I recall when we had a bad drought a number of years ago there was duckweed at P1,but a good flood washed it away,and OG too. We need a good steady rain to bring the aquifer back up,and a good flood to "heal" Peacock cave system

    'duckweed' is indigenous to Florida waters BTW-! It is commonplace amongst several of our popular springs & sinkholes-!

    Just asking here, but isn't duckweed good for water clarity, or is that just a myth?

    Just Dive!
