Port of Stockton: Water Hyacinth Removal
Вставка
- Опубліковано 5 січ 2015
- The Port of Stockton has hired Aquatic Harvest to clear the green congestion that is known as water hyacinth. This invasive plant species floats on top water and inhibits ships and boats from passing through the Port's waterways. The Port has also authorized Aquatic Harvest to venture to downtown Stockton and clear the water of water hyacinth in the city as well.
This is some of the valuable ecological projects that really deserve more national attention. These people are doing great work!!
crush the water hyacinth with a machine until it becomes small at the time of harvesting, if it is wet it can be used as pet food, if it is in dry form it can be burned and can be printed in the form of bricks sold as a substitute for firewood
Yes, just harvested water hyacinth is an excellent substitute for imported hay. California dairy farmers should be able to buy this stuff at same price as hay imported from Nevada and Utah.
Can be used as animal feed as well, especially during times of drought.
No do not feed it to dairy cattles causes food poisoning
Three words: Dry Anaerobic Biogas
We need this in the Atchafalaya So Badly!! THIS and Carp Prevent other grass from growing that’s vital to our fisheries!!!
They make good compost. Just have days in spring and summer for people to come in and scoop up the compost.
They might even pay a small fee.
Add some wings/booms out the side to increase the swath width and capture rate.
It makes great animal feed for chickens, ducks, cows, pigs, goats... It really helps pack on the pounds for farm to market animals. I would contact some of the local farmers markets for contact info on farmers looking for a great food source.
If they are growing that fast that means they find a lot nutrients in the water, basically nitrates and phosphates which is agricultural runoff pollution. If we let them rot on the river banks they will again release these nutrients back to the river. We should find a way to use them as fertilizers and prevent agricultural runoff pollution.
Hello Stockton! Ill visit you one day soon!!
How can I get this machine to take it to East Africa? They have a major issue in Many of the lakes with water Hyacinth. Threatening fishing industry.
It was getting out of hand . Rio Vista area needs it too !
Seems like a pretty awesome job.
Absorbs heavy metals. The purple 🟣 flowers are beautiful and delicious.
Good job gentlemen, good job indeed.
The water hyacinth will never go away if the water pollution still occurs. Can see factory nearby in the video.
Main cause is water pollution by agriculture. When it rains, a lot of fertilizer and nutrients are washed into the rivers, now letting the plants grow there.
It's a fast-growing noxious species, you fool. Take your anti-industrial liberalism and go live in Lithuania.
A lot of people are talking about the value of hyacinth as animal feed. The reason it's a problem is because it failed as an alternative livestock feed. It was imported for that purpose but animals find it unpalatable and it has a low nutritional value, even when fresh. In its native range only specialized species feed on it. These guys are doing a major ecological service by cleaning it up.
it makes a great animal food also, pigs, cattle, chickens ducks turkeys etc
This is genius! Can we feature this on our channel?
I never can understand how it even survives central valley winters. I try in the bay area to grow it in ponds...always dies over winter, even frost free winters. Never survives. Does it start with seed in spring in the valley? Because in winter there is nothing but dead Hyacinths along banks over there.
Even if seems dried, it'll grow again as fresh hyacinth once you put it on muddy waters. But never use herbicide on it.
May I have two pieces?
The company that does the harvesting for the Port of Stockton is Aquatic Harvesting inc. Their web site is: aquaticharvesting.com

Hey, hows your business doing??
nice
You forgot to mention the damage this invasive species has on the environment. But I'm glad that there's a solution.
There is a show called ecoIndia. They use these hyacinths to make cloth.
Can this stuff be used for Cattle Food? Chickens? Dried, it could burn and be used to generate Steam to generate Electricity. Don't say no, use scrubbers of the smoke. Compost yes do it.
Where did you get the seaweed harvester to purchase? I need one.
What products have you needed to add recently to get the job done?Do you mind to send me the specification &your requirement, I will immediately evaluate.Our professional overseas engineers support and service will help you complete your project successfully.You can contact me at the following address: jason@e-touch.cc
The hyacinth is not the fabulus food that alls saids... it containts only nitrogens and Nothing other... after a time the animals will be on bad condition of haelth.. sorry for my inglish.. By..
Job security 👍
Best use is compost.
Is there not a way to turn this into a biofuel...
Yes. They do that in Kenya
That Hyacinth just SUCKS...When it comes in it just takes over EVERYWHERE...It RUINED some of my Best LARGE MOUTH BLACK BASS FISHING....They didn't clean it up where I was at...
It is edible and help filter the dirty water
hysocin? Scopalamine barbituate penathol, chloral hydtate,
Now seeing in Africa that they make chicken feed from it.
Unleash ducks and geese into the water.

i hope it will be turned into biofuel, the roots are highly specialised
