Send photographs of the aquatic plants growing in your lake and get species identification back — along with a clear answer on whether each one is native to your region or an invasive that warrants action.

No sampling kit, no shipping, no waiting for a survey to be scheduled. Photographs from a dock, a boat, or a shoreline walk are usually enough.

The invasives most often reported by Lake Pulse subscribers: Eurasian watermilfoil, hydrilla, curly-leaf pondweed, water hyacinth, and Brazilian elodea.
