Fall 2023 SAV Data

November 21, 2023

It was a wonderful SAV season in Cocktown Creek with cooperating weather and lots of SAV. Hydrilla and Coontail were the most prevalent species, but we were pleasantly surprised by the amount of Common Waterweed that was surveyed. It seems like this plant is making a comeback in the creek!

Interestingly enough, the students found two different types of Naiad on earlier trips in the season, but its presence seemed to die off once the water temperatures dropped.
