The US Army Corps of Engineers, Wilmington District has implemented an aquatic vegetation management program to control/eradicate invasive vegetation and encourage native vegetation in the five lakes in the District. The lakes vary in age, size, and extent of invasive vegetation present.
To gain further understanding of how to manage aquatic vegetation the study focuses on measuring the extent of native and invasive aquatic vegetation present, amount of available habitat for aquatic vegetation, the effectiveness of efforts to promote native vegetation, and the effectiveness of methods used to control invasive vegetation. Findings from the continued study will be utilized in development and implementation of management actions.
