    One can also use something like Ceratopteris thalictroides (Indian water fern) to float. Don't know if its black listed.

    Don't worry, if you used the words "water lettuce" or "hyacinth" you've got everybody's attention.

    What about a lily (ie Tiger Lotus)? Let the pads reach the surface and they will cover it.
