North Lake
Aquatic Plants
Aquatic plants are an important part of any lake or pond. They provide food and protection for fish, waterfowl, insects, mammals and microscopic animals. These plants also help replenish oxygen to the aquatic environment, critical for the survival of fish and other aquatic organisms.
Some aquatic plants can also become a nuisance. Invasive plants are not native to Michigan. These plants can grow rapidly out of control, choking out other plants and organisms and limiting recreational activities.
Starry stonewort is one example of an invasive plant seen in Michigan waters. Click here to learn more about starry stonewort from the Huron River Watershed Council.
The Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy (EGLE) oversees the permits that are required to chemically control nuisance aquatic plants. To learn more about their Aquatic Nuisance Control Program, visit their website.
