Nuisance Plant Growth Too Much of a Good Thing Generally, what lake users perceive as nuisance growth or "lake weeds" can be attributed to thick plant growth near the surface of lakes. Many aquatic plant species can form these thick patches, especially in shallow areas of lakes, but most nuisance plant growth occurs in lakes infested with non-native invaders like Eurasian milfoil and curlyleaf pondweed. These non-natives, or invasive species, out-compete the native vegetation and can dominate the plant community.  How can Freshwater help you manage your nuisance plant growth? - Comprehensive aquatic plant surveys to assess their abundance and distribution - Development of aquatic plant management plans to set a clear path to your goals - Invasive species management to better control curlyleaf pondweed or Eurasian milfoil - Assistance in applying for permits to control nuisance aquatic plant growth in your waters - Establishment of native plants to protect shorelines and improve fish habitat Freshwater Scientific Services will help you address your aquatic plant problems. Through the use of cutting-edge technology and skilled, experienced staff, we offer superior aquatic plant surveys and management plans that are customized to fit your budget.
