Salvinia is one of the world’s worst aquatic weeds. Since its introduction to Australia in the 1950s salvinia has spread to many waterways on the east coast and in the Northern Territory. The potential for salvinia to invade waterways in all States and Territories in Australia is of great concern. This manual is a platform for designing site-specific management strategies for salvinia. It brings together best practice information about existing control and management options and contains detailed information about the plant itself. - Foreword,
