Fishermen have stated that other aquatic plants, including Japanese jabara, have come to the lagoon, and that the Japanese jabara brought into the lagoon will rot before long and join the bottom of the lagoon.
Fishermen have mentioned that the Japanese jabara may have come to the lagoon due to the heavy rains that fell in the last few days.
However, according to reports, the Japanese jabara and other aquatic plants have been brought into the lagoon because of the Japanese jabara and other plants that have been informally removed from a lake in the Halawata area.
