Rice Grass is an aggressive and troublesome weed continuing to spread in the Rubicon estuary. The highly invasive weed has the potential to impact on boating, aquaculture, community recreation and the estuarine environment. It out-competes the threatened native saltmarsh community and reduces the area of mud-flats that provide food and habitat for fish, migratory and resident wader birds, shellfish and crabs.
