| Short Description |
This report contains maps and information on the known distribution of noxious aquatic weeds in Washington State. It also contains a list of all waterbodies with detailed aquatic plant data. In addition, an update on research projects conducted in 2002 is provided. These consisted of: investigating the effects of the contact herbicide endothall on the aquatic plant community of Kress Lake (Cowlitz County), studying the impacts of a whole lake fluridone treatment on Egeria densa (Brazilian elodea) and Myriophyllum spicatum (Eurasian watermilfoil) in Loomis Lake (Pacific County), and a project studying biological control agents for M. spicatum.

| Abstract | Long Description |
The objectives of the Aquatic Plant Technical Assistance Program are to: During the 2002 field season, aquatic plant data were gathered at 70 waterbodies throughout the state. Several previously unknown populations of non-native invasive aquatic plants were identified: In addition to routine aquatic plant monitoring, we conducted several research projects. We continued monitoring effects of the contact herbicide endothall on the aquatic plant community of Kress Lake in Cowlitz County. We began a project studying the impacts of a whole lake fluridone treatment on Egeria densa (Brazilian elodea), M. spicatum, and the native plants in Loomis Lake, Pacific County. We also initiated a project to study biological control agents for M. spicatum. Other accomplishments include gathering plants for the herbarium collection, providing technical outreach, and assisting with projects funded by Freshwater Aquatic Weed Program grant money. |
