The Susitna River Coalition hosts a Winter Speaker Series presentation on Elodea (uh-low-dee-uh) in Alaska on Wednesday, March 25th from 6 to 7pm via Zoom. Cody Jacobson of the Alaska Department of Natural Resources – Division of Agriculture will provide an overview of Elodea biology, documented locations in Alaska, and current efforts to control and contain the invasive aquatic plant. Information about potential habitat effects in river systems such as the Susitna drainage will also be discussed. Elodea is a submerged freshwater plant that has been identified in several areas of Alaska and can form dense underwater growth that alters lake and river conditions. Aquatic plant fragments can spread through boats, floatplanes, trailers, and fishing gear.
