The Michigan Watch List Aquatic Invasive Plant Guide is intended to aid in the identification of aquatic plants found on Michigan’s watch list. Watch list species have been identified as posing an immediate or potential threat to Michigan’s economy, environment, or human health. You may download the guide HERE.
If you observe a watch list aquatic plant in Michigan, please report the location as soon as possible to the
Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy at egle-wrd-anc@mi.gov or 517-284-5593. If possible, please include pictures with reports. They help with species identification and may inform
possible response actions.
