What’s so bad about water chestnuts? Water chestnuts spread over the rivers surface, crowding out native plants and altering the water chemistry. In the fall when the plants die, their decomposition draws down the dissolved oxygen which fish and other aquatic animals need to survive. photo by David Mussina.
