AERF Resources

The Aquatic Ecosystem Restoration Foundation (AERF) has collected a variety of resources for site visitors, including a Best Management Practices Handbook, a list of state regulatory contacts, and information on how to obtain funding for student internships. These resources are designed to help people learn more about aquatic ecosystem restoration and to take action to protect and restore aquatic ecosystems.

The BMP provides information on the biology and control of aquatic plants, as well as methods for preventing and controlling the spread of invasive aquatic species. Click Here To Download

Aquatic Weed Tour Summaries

LeRoy Rodgers and his staff at SFWMD, Ian and Skippy of the Corps, and Lee County all did a great job explaining their programs and the importance of invasive weed and insect management in aquatic ecosystems. We tried to cover everything from endangered species, herbicide resistance, biological control, herbicide residues, to applicator safety, training, and oversight (permitting). Thank the new AERF Board for keeping these critical national projects alive and well.

While not directly involved in actual regulatory decisions, as a toxicologist, all the information that was provided at each location by a variety of pesticide-responsible parties was very educational. This was my first tour with the EPA, as the aquatic nature of it peaked my interest due my scientific background, and I am very glad I signed on to attend.
