#Hydrilla may look lush underwater, but it quickly replaces #eelgrass- a foundation of healthy #fish & #wildlife #habitat.
One invader can change an entire ecosystem.

New Cornell Univ study: shallow #ponds w/ submerged + floating #plants show highest methane/CO2; floating mats can act like a lid. Management may curb emissions.

Certain communities of pond plants may increase greenhouse gases | Cornell Chronicle
The findings could lead to aquatic plant management strategies that help mitigate the release of gases such as methane, carbon dioxide and nitrous oxide.

🐊🌊 Freshwater? ✅ Brackish water? ✅ Even salt water? ✅
If it’s water, there might be a gator in it.
Look before you leap… or swim… or wade.😉
This one is having a swim in a brackish overwash pond at the coast.
