Sometimes the toughest part of aquatic plant management isn’t identifying watermilfoil, it’s navigating group dynamics like you’re hosting a daytime talk show. #AquaticPlantManagement #LakeLife #StakeholderEngagement #MAPMS s #PeopleAndPondPlants
Genetic monitoring is key in choosing the most cost-effective treatment.

At the 2025 MAPMS meeting, AGFC Fisheries Division shared how past challenges forced them to rethink their approach to vegetation restoration. Enter the "Arkansas Cube". #MAPMS2025 #AquaticRestoration #HabitatInnovation #BassHabitat #ArkansasCube #AGFC
Today is #WorldPestDay At MAPMS, we talk about aquatic pests a lot. But today, we’re spotlighting a few unconventional pests that hit a little closer to the waders. Because sometimes, the real pests aren’t just the plants 👀. Photo by danielatha via iNaturalist (CC0)
“When it comes to aquatic plant management—words matter.” A recent study from the University of Wisconsin–Madison highlights how the language we use shapes public understanding and action around aquatic plant management. 🔗 Link in our bio. #WorldEnvironmentDay
Aquatic Control, Inc. is a Diamond Sponsor of #MAPMS, and we appreciate their continued support, including providing insights like these! Visit the link in our bio to learn more about their #SucessStories. #StakeholderEngagement #AquaticPlantManagement
Aquatic Plant Management Isn’t Instant. Systemic herbicides are designed to work slowly and selectively, minimizing harm to non-target plants and reducing the risk of regrowth. That means visible results can take several or more weeks, depending on conditions.
In the Upper Midwest, a 10% increase in #cyanohab frequency led to a 3.5% drop in home value for lakefront properties. That’s over $25 million in lost value from just the lakes studied—link in bio. #MAPMS #LakeLife #HABs #Cyanobacteria
