"Life in the "Weeds": Exploring the rarely seen world of aquatic plants" Webinar Handout
This is a handout from our webinar, "Life in the "Weeds": Exploring the rarely seen world of aquatic plants". The document discusses the importance of protecting native aquatic plants, which benefit lakes by absorbing wave energy, protecting water quality, and providing habitat. It encourages readers to join the Freshwater Stewardship Community and use the Lake Protection Workbook to assess their property. The document also highlights the different types of aquatic vegetation, including emergent, floating, and submergent plants. By properly managing invasive species and algae competition, readers can help maintain the health of aquatic ecosystems.
"Life in the ‘Weeds’: Exploring the rarely seen world of aquatic plants" webinar by Dr. Jo Latimore
Aquatic plants get a bad rap. Within our lakes – mostly below the surface – exists a diverse and beautiful underwater forest. Native aquatic plants benefit our lakes by taking up nutrients, and stabilizing shorelines and bottom sediments. They provide habitat for fish, frogs, turtles, and insects. Dr. Latimore explores the beautiful underwater forests in your backyard! Featured aquatic species during this webinar can be found in at least part of Canada.
