Aquatic Vegetation Control

Aquatic vegetation control involves managing and removing excess or invasive aquatic plants in bodies of water like lakes, ponds, and reservoirs. The goal is to balance plant growth to maintain water quality, navigation, recreation, and habitat health. Techniques include mechanical removal (like mowing or dredging), chemical treatments, biological controls (such as introducing natural predators), and habitat management. Proper control prevents overgrowth that can block sunlight, deplete oxygen, and harm aquatic ecosystems. Effective management requires understanding plant types, growth patterns, and ecological impacts to ensure sustainable and environmentally responsible practices.
