If you are familiar with the waterways in and around (within 100-150 km) the capital cities of Australia (Adelaide, Brisbane, Canberra, Darwin, Hobart, Melbourne, Perth, and Sydney) and you have reasonable aquatic plant I.D. skills, please follow this link to take a short survey: http://www.surveymonkey.com/s.aspx?sm=I4jgx7s2t5mT0Mhddo2SIA_3d_3d The results of this survey will be integrated with a larger project which was designed to understand the effects of water quality and peri-urban development on aquatic invasive plant populations in Australia. With this survey and the results of our field-based work, we intend to create a nationwide database that describes which species are where. To do this, it is important to get A LOT of knowledgeable participants. Your help in contributing to the survey as well as forwarding this email to other potential participants is greatly appreciated. Thank you.
