| Abstract: | The goal of the project was to prevent the spread of invasive aquatic species (predominantly Eurasian milfoil) in Echo Lake by selective harvesting. The project consisted of several phases: 1) monitor the lakeshore to identify areas where invasive species have become established and develop a plan and schedule for harvesting, 2) to conduct harvesting by professional divers assisted by volunteers from ELPOA, and 3) to subjectively assess the short term and long term impact on harvesting. Note: data are included in final report. |
