St. Albans, Vermont - September 21, 2009

There's a new invasive species in Missisquoi Bay.

State Natural Resources officials say that variable-leaved watermilfoil is now in the bay. It can "hitchhike" on boats and other recreational equipment, and it's also a popular aquarium species. Researchers say the plant is a concern because it can crowd out other beneficial plants.

Last year, the variable-leaved watermilfoil was spotted in Halls Lake in Newbury.
