We are in the midst of an aquatic vegetation treatment project in a several year old, 18 acre lake. There are several alligators that inhabit this lake. There are several 3 footers, one or two 7 footers and a big 12 footer in the back part of the lake. Unlike other lakes in the area, this lake is very turbid and muddy. The question for this forum is whether it is safe to assume that the principal cause of this muddiness is due to our alligator inhabitants. Does anybody have any experience with alligators and muddy water? Thanks to all.
