At Spice Harbour boats aren’t the only colorful item floating past the property on a daily basis. While the water hyacinth is lovely, it can also clog the water ways and make boating difficult to manage when it piles up along the edges and eddies of the harbour front.

We hired local fisherman to create a floating bamboo fence that keeps the plant from getting caught in our dock, allowing it to move onward in the free flowing waterways from the Arabian Sea to Lake Vembanad.

The video above documents the process.
