Aquatic vegetation gathering apparatus for use in control of weeds or other vegetation in lakes and rivers and a method for controlling aquatic vegetation are disclosed. The apparatus has a floatable storage device (73), a pump to transport water and vegetation to the storage device through ducting (89), and a diver monitoring station (93). The storage device collects and stores vegetation while allowing the water to drain out. The ducting can be manipulated by a diver (90) to control the collection of vegetation into an inlet, while an attendant monitors the diver from the monitoring station. A mesh fence or enclosure (77) is used to encompass an area of water and define an isolation zone from which vegetation is to be collected.
