Aquatic plant surveys are an important tool to highlight changes in an aquatic plant community including exotic species spread. For lakes that perform management (like mechanical harvesting and invasive control), Point Intercept (PI) surveys are required ever five years.  Additionally, it is common to perform meander surveys each spring to record invasive species.  These aren’t reserved just for lakes though.  We can utilize randomized grids and meander surveys for assessing pond plant communities too.
