Overview
Invasive plants can have just as much of an impact as invasive animals. Aquatic invasive plants can reduce the habitat for our native plants, which threatens species of insects, fish, animals and other plants. As aquatic invasive plants begin rapidly reproducing, they reduce the overall biological diversity of ecosystems, can effect water quality and interfere with recreational opportunities.
