Aquatic Plant Management in Wisconsin: Past, Present, and Future
Abstract
"The way that we view and manage aquatic plants has changed significantly over the last 175 years. This presentation will provide a historical overview of aquatic plant management (APM) in Wisconsin, highlighting key programs, policies, and changes in perspective that have shaped the APM program into what we know it as today. We will also provide an overview of statewide research evaluating the ecology and management of invasive aquatic plants, and discuss how we can use this knowledge to help guide future best management practices and ensure the long-term protection of our water resources.
