Aquatic plants such as cattails,
bulrushes (some people call them
lake reeds), water lilies, and
other aquatic vegetation are
important because they reduce
wave action (reducing the threat
of shoreline erosion), provide
fish and wildlife habitat,
buffer shorelines from
pollutants, and provide other
environmental benefits.
Preserving all aquatic plants is
ideal for the protection of the
lake both now, and in the
future. |

You may mechanically
maintain a 15 foot wide
channel through
floating-leaf vegetation
extending to open water
without a permit. Any greater removal will
require a permit.
If you must
remove bulrushes, and have
received the required
permit when applicable, please remove as
few as possible.
Preserving existing bulrushes
will certainly be easier than
it would be to
re-establish them in the
future for fish habitat
and water-filtering.
