Aquatic Plant Identification

By Colin Ritchie, Environmental Science and Policy Graduate Student

The Aquatic Video ID was created to address a gap in image-based resources for identifying aquatic vegetation. And provide an accessible resource for all that are interested in learning more about aquatic vegetation in the Green Bay area. This is not a comprehensive review of all aquatic vegetation, but focuses only on common aquatic vegetation. There are two components to this resource, the first is a table of contents. Which is a document that specifies the time codes for each species that are covered in each video (for those looking for a specific species). The video ID is broken into 4 smaller videos based on a common characteristic the group of aquatic vegetation share (e.g. entire leaves, floating leaves).
