Great Lakes Commission: GLC and National Sea Grant Law Center launch new database to help prevent online sales of invasive species. “Developed in collaboration with the National Sea Grant Law Center, the new AquaSale database compiles regulations governing aquatic organisms across all 50 states, making it easier for online sellers and buyers to determine where species may be legally sold, […]

I was already planning to spend Saturday looking for Round-leaved Sundew in the #NewForest. So of course, given the challenge was #AquaticPlants, it wasn't in flower. This set of buds was as close as I got. But I did see Marsh St John's Wort, Bog Pimpernel and Lesser Spearwort. #WildflowerHour #Hampshire #Bloomscrolling #botany #plants #flowers #wildflowers #photography

Marine coastal ecosystem (Ecosystems 🏞️)
A marine coastal ecosystem is a marine ecosystem which occurs where the land meets the ocean. Worldwide there is about 620,000 kilometres of coastline. Coastal habitats extend to the margins of the continental shelves, occupying about 7 percent of the ocean surface area. Marine coastal ecosystems include m...

I forgot to flip to landscape view after reversing camera - sorry! I've since identified the purple flowers. Pontederia cordata, common name #pickerelweed. It grows in many places across the Americas.

#Sweden - Removal of #PFAS from water by #AquaticPlants
Maria Greger, Tommy Landberg
February, 2024Highlights
• High total biomass is important plant trait for high PFAS accumulation from water.
• Higher PFAS accumulation in shoot than roots with time.
• Degradation of PFAS with root peroxidases and laccases.Abstract:
"We have found that aquatic plants can reduce the content of perfluorinated alkyl substances (PFAS) within a short period of time. The aim of this study was to determine the variation in the uptake of PFAS from contaminated water by various #wetland plant species, investigate the effect of #biomass on PFAS removal, and determine whether laccases and peroxidases are involved in the removal and degradation of PFAS. Seventeen emergent and one submerged wetland plant species were screened for PFAS uptake from highly contaminated lake water. The screening showed that #EriophorumAngustifolium, #CarexRostrata, and #ElodeaCanadensis accumulated the highest levels of all PFAS. These species were thereafter used to investigate the effect of biomass on PFAS removal from water and for the enzyme studies. The results showed that the greater the biomass per volume, the greater the PFAS removal effect. The plant-based removal of PFAS from water is mainly due to plant absorption, although degradation also occurs. In the beginning, most of the PFAS accumulated in the roots; over time, more was translocated to the shoots, resulting in a higher concentration in the shoots than in the roots. Most PFAS degradation occurred in the water; the metabolites were thereafter taken up by the plants and were accumulated in the roots and shoots. Both peroxidases and laccases were able to degrade PFAS. We conclude that wetland plants can be used for the purification of PFAS-contaminated water. For effective purification, a high biomass per volume of water is required."

With warmer temperatures forecast for the end of the week hopefully you’ll appreciate a watery theme for this week’s challenge! Find wild or naturalised aquatic plants in bloom and share for #WildflowerHour this Sunday 8-9pm using the hashtag #AquaticPlants https://bsky.app/profile/wildflowerhour.bsky.social/post/3lrvut7bzb22d

Native edible aquatic plant. American white water lilies at Prospect Lake in the Highlands. Nymphaea odorata. These are the only native water lilies in this area of the world. Other water lilies you see are invasive introduced species.
Beavers & muskrats like eating their stems.
Their seeds, flowers & rhizomes can all be eaten raw or cooked. Roots can be boiled to create a medicinal liquid to treat sore throats (gargle it) & for diarrhea (drink it). Many Indigenous peoples used the rhizomes to treat coughs/colds & crushed stems can be put on teeth to treat toothaches.#Wsanec #Saanich #VictoriaBC #YYJ #VancouverIsland #VanIsle #PacificNorthwest #Cascadia #PNW #NativePlants #perennials #nature #WaterLilies #bloomscrolling #florespondence #plants #botany #EdiblePlants #foraging #WildFood #botanical #Summer #lilypads #AquaticPlants #WorldInMyEyes #DisabledPhotographers #photography #LookAndLearn #peaceful

a collection of waterlilies from my trip to Longwood Gardens last week--these things are so gorgeous and I'm insanely happy with how the photos turned out :neocat_happy:

Lily pads float on the surface of a pond, creating a striking contrast between the white leaves and the dark water. The natural arrangement of the lily pads forms an intricate, almost patterned display.

Some good news: after seeing that a garden center near me was selling water lettuce (Pistia stratiotes) and common water hyacinth (Pontederia crassipes, formerly Eichhornia crassipes), both invasives, I pleaded with them to reconsider. Their vendor had insisted the species couldn't overwinter in Pennsylvania but that's not true and I provided evidence. Within hours the plant center had pulled the plants. So, folks, if you see something say something. It doesn't hurt to ask. #InvasiveSpecies #invasive #AquaticPlants #nature #plants #garden #gardening #aquatic #pennsylvania
