I restored a � acre pond here in NE Texas last year, and have some vegetation that I would appreciate having help in identifying and controlling. The first appears to be �Sedge�, quickly emerging and spreading around the water�s edge. I would like to eliminate a large portion of this grass, then prevent it from completely dominating the shoreline. Any suggestions for chemical or physical control, or both ? The second concern is a small, floating foliage, rooted in the very shallow water, that appears to be fairly fast growing and possibly invasive. I have not been successful in identifying the plant, therefore don�t know whether or not I should be overly concerned. Obviously, it is much thicker than depicted in the attached photos, during the warmer months. I have attached several pics that will hopefully be of assistance.

Should I initiate some control measures and if so, what would be recommended.
