The purpose of this monitoring effort was to fully inspect and survey the areas of the lake that are most at risk to invasive species establishment. By carrying out these surveys the
crews ensured that the waterbody is currently free of invasive species. Our crew also collected generalized data on native species presence on the waterbody. In the case that
any invasive species was found our crew would have mapped out any and all invasive plant beds. This is the third year we have performed annual early detection surveys for Blue Mountain Lake, including similar surveys in 2020 and 2021.
Results
Blue Mountain Lake is free from aquatic invasive plants in the areas we searched.
