Can Mechanical Removal of Invasive Cattail Benefit Fish Communities in Inland Lakes?

Minnesota Sea Grant (MNSG) Extension Program Leader and Fisheries and Aquaculture Extension Educator Amy Schrank will give a presentation on her Invasive Cattail-Dominated Shorelines project, which seeks to determine if small-scale removal of invasive, hybrid cattails can improve abundance and diversity of plants and fish on Minnesota lakeshores.

Amy's presentation will be part of the 153rd Annual Meeting of the American Fisheries Society, August 20-24, 2023, in Grand Rapids, Michigan. This meeting convenes fisheries professionals from across North America and countries throughout the world. This year's theme is Adaptive Approaches to Understand and Manage Changes in Fisheries.
