Aquatic Invasive Weeds Law

In Scotland, a variation (amendment), to Part II of Schedule 9, the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981 was made. Australian Swamp Stonecrop, Parrots Feather, and Floating Pennywort were added to the original list of plants, making it a statutory offence to cause or allow these plants to grow in the wild. There was no amendment made for England and Wales, although adjoining land owners may take civil action utilising the general principles relating to nuisance claims, and may seek damages due to the spread of invasive weeds onto their property.
