Aquatic invasive plants are labeled invasive due to their highly disruptive impacts on wetlands, lakes and rivers. Thankfully, they’re on the radar of Ducks Unlimited. Work DU is undertaking in the Great Lakes Basin to protect coastal wetlands includes controlling the highly invasive aquatic plant, European water chestnut, and surveillance and monitoring along eastern Lake Ontario and the St. Lawrence River. Link to hear Kyle Borrowman, European Water Chestnut plant eradication program coordinator with Ducks Unlimited Canada this week on blue Fish Radio.
