d a bed. Durinng the survey, we covered aapproximatelyy 25,700
llinear feet of shoreline, eq
qualing 4.8 miiles. The actual distance coovered was appproximately three to four times
tthat distance due to the width of the litttoral zones in each locationn require multtiple passes too cover the arrea.

Throughout the

w surveyed fo

M locations w
were discovereed and
m
mapped with a GPS. It is recommended
r
d that any areas of lush nattive growth coontinue to be surveyed whhere
nnutrients may
y be high. Thrree quarters of
o the east sho
ore still need tto be surveyed, especially near any tribuutaries.

Continued vig
gilance is alw
ways the best war
w against in
nvasive speciies. Also, the continued usee and successs of the
scout program
m and the wattchfulness of lake property
y owners to coommunicate ppossible EWM

managers willl ensure the continued
c
succcess of the in
