We’ve seen ponds so choked with weeds you couldn’t push a paddle through, and we’ve watched property owners spend thousands on quick fixes that never lasted. Stocking grass carp can turn that around—but only if you follow New York’s rules and get your grass carp stocking permit approved. The grass carp permit process is basically a handshake between you, the state, and the ecosystem. You explain what’s happening in your pond—weed type, size, and containment plans—and the state decides how many fish you can stock. Serenity Solutions NY handles the entire grass carp permit application from field measurements to paperwork and regulator coordination, so you avoid fines, delays, and an unbalanced pond for years to come. And for many clients, we combine permitting with Pond & Lake Drawdown strategies to give weeds less of a foothold and restore healthier water conditions.
