Hate the stuff, ruined many a session on the river for me this year. Having all 3 rids wiped out at 3am by a floating raft of pennywort the size of Wales is never fun!

Not this stuff unfortunately. It'll keep growing (up to 20cm a day) unimpeded. Removing it does help but it can regrow from a tiny fragment.
