Meanwhile, the water board continues to work with the province and environmental consultants to expand existing milfoil treatment areas.

]]> Study Links Human Shoreline Disturbance to Changes in Aquatic Plants and Algal Blooms https://aquarius-systems.com/human-impact-on-aquatic-plant-life/ Mon, 01 Nov 2021 17:58:19 +0000 https://aquarius-systems.com/?p=2325 Algal blooms in Bednesti Lake, British Columbia, Canada, over recent years led researchers to look into how humans impact aquatic life.

Researchers analyzed 16 human-caused disturbances and 10 natural disturbances to see how much of an impact people truly have on aquatic plant life. Researches found six of those having an impact on individual aquatic plants, so if there was a sandy beach they would tend not to see one type of plant, but you might see another type of plant.
