Phragmites: Invasive Species Control Innovative Mosquito
Management, Inc. used the Marsh Master II to mulch the invasive phragmities
on Nott Island in the Connecticut River in 2004. The machine is completely
amphibious and uses a 76” all aluminum cutting deck that is similar to the
brush hog type mower. Many important bird
species were observed on the island. In addition to birds, we observed harbor
seals fishing from the island banks, beaver dens, coyote, deer and otters.
Also on Nott Island, last year, deep sump ponds were excavated by the
Connecticut Department of Environmental Protection (DEP). The sump ponds are
meant to encourage migrating and local populations of birds to use this site.
Our main goal is the
removal of this aggressive growing plant, one that devastates the native
grasses and other beneficial fauna. Phragmites is very high on the invasive
plant hit list. Innovative Mosquito
Management, Inc., is licensed for Aquatic Pest Control in Connecticut. During
Autumn, 2003, IMM, Inc. herbacided the invasive phragmities and will continue
control efforts throughout 2004. |
