Providing objective scientific evaluation of lake condition for long-term understanding and management
In 2023, NEAR found the invasive species Hydrilla (Hydrilla verticillata) in multiple lakes in Connecticut. Hydrilla easily spreads between waterbodies and can quickly become a serious problem for both the native habitat and recreation. We have played an instrumental role in searching for, identifying, and supervising the management of Hydrilla in most lakes in Connecticut where the species in known to exist. If you are concerned about the possibility of Hydrilla infesting your waterbody, please reach out to us using the contact form at the bottom of this page.
