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

Presentation at the MAISRC AIS Research and Management Showcase

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 MAISRC (Minnesota Aquatic Invasive Species Research Center) AIS (Aquatic Invasive Species) Research and Management Showcase, September 20, 2023, from 8:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. CT. This one-day, completely online event is an opportunity to hear from researchers about their AIS research.
