Aquatic Plant Management
Vegetation is an important part of any aquatic system, but sometimes it can get out of control and create problems. Although most people probably want to reduce aquatic vegetation at Big Long Lake, it’s important to remember that aquatic plants are essential components of healthy aquatic systems. All plants — whether on land or in or around water — photosynthesize.
