Description

Aquatic plants are an important part of a natural aquatic ecosystem, especially for the ecology of shoreline areas. They provide habitat for fish to spawn, feed and hide from predators. Aquatic plants help maintain water quality by stabilizing sediments. Too many aquatic plants, however, can interfere with boating, swimming and other recreational water activities. At time, some control through aquatic vegetation removal may be necessary and allowed under special circumstances. Removal of aquatic vegetation may be approved for individual use, public use or commercial purposes. Public use or commercial purposes are normally limited to areas that benefit multiple users or are required for the successful operation of commercial facilities.
