⚠️ In #AtlanticBeach, #Florida, efforts are underway to stop the spread of #beachvitex... fast-growing #invasiveplant threatening coastal #dunes. Unlike native sea oats, beach vitex has shallow roots that don’t protect against storms, and it crowds out critical native vegetation. Even more challenging? Its seeds stay viable and can float in from hundreds of miles away! 🌱 A recent grant-funded survey helped identify hotspots, and city officials are asking beachgoers to take a photo and report with location (email included in 🔗) if you spot it: 🔗: https://lnkd.in/eNhSsnRV #aquastemconsulting #invasiveplants #dunes #coastalecology #weedscience #invasiveplantmanagement #habitat #aquaticplants #preventthespread #stopthespread #stopaquatichitchhikers

🌿 Invasive aquatic plants aren’t just bad for ecosystems ... they’re a #publichealth concern, too. Stagnant #water around dense plant mats creates ideal breeding grounds for non-native #mosquitoes, some of which can carry diseases like #WestNilevirus 🦟⚠️ Managing invasive #aquaticplants helps protect #waterquality and #communityhealth. Prevention matters! 📰 Recent report: West Nile virus detected in #Boston mosquito samples → https://lnkd.in/eTc55BVq #aquastemconsulting #environmentalconsulting #aquaticplantmanagement #mosquitocontrol #invasiveplants #aquaticweeds #vectorbornediseases #arbovirus #fightthebite #westnile
