Resource Quality -- Aquatic Plant Management
Aquatic plant management is an important aspect of managing lakes. Aquatic plants are vital as fish habitat, so desirable species are planted in appropriate areas of Hamilton County Park District Lakes. When aquatic plants are not feasible, artificial structure is used to supplement fish habitat. Artificial habitat can take many forms, but is usually in the form of pallet structures or rock piles. Sometimes non-native or invasive plants become a nuisance. Resource Quality has the means to remove large areas of invasive plants using an aquatic weed harvesting boat. The aquatic weed harvester allows effective plant management without the widespread use of herbicides and algaecides. |
