Essays / Help with 1st sentence of Introduction - Topic Eurasion Water Milfoil [2]

Here is what I have for my introduction:
I live near many beautiful lakes that serve as both recreation areas and ecological sanctuaries. A very invasive plant called Eurasian water milfoil (Myriophyllum spicatum), to be referred to as "milfoil" from here on, has become a big nuisance in North Idaho's waters. Milfoil has adversely affected many of the water activities enjoyed on the lakes, and the ecosystem of the waters. The noxious weed needs to be eradicated or at the least, controlled to be able to enjoy the boating, fishing, swimming and kayaking in my community.

My question: Can you help me to rephrase my 1st sentence and give me a "Hook"?

Thank you, Jenny
