Upper Midwest Environmental Sciences Center
The Upper Midwest Environmental Sciences Center of the U.S. Geological Survey and its state partners monitor the aquatic vegetation as well as fish, water quality, and macroinvertebrates in the Upper Mississippi River System. The objective is to accumulate data on aquatic vegetation over a long term using a standardized protocol across the system. The data provide basic information on the vegetation growth within pools for use by resource managers and planners as well as the public for the protection and enhancement of the Upper Mississippi River System. This report summarizes the annual stratified random sampling monitoring results of aquatic vegetation in the Upper Mississippi River System.
Key words: Aquatic macrophyte, aquatic vegetation, Illinois River, Mississippi River, and monitoring.
