Abstract
"Diver Assisted Suction Harvesting (D.A.S.H.) has long been used as a method to remove non-native nuisance aquatic plants from around boat docks and swimming areas. But what happens to the creatures that are found in these plants when they get removed from the water? See how using a sorting table to look through the plants before bagging them allows for creatures to be pulled and returned safely to the water. This methodology is a win-win for your lake and the native creatures that live there!
