Aquatic Plant Management Society
Announces annual Student Paper Contests for Upcoming July 2009 Meeting in
Milwaukee, Wisconsin
The Aquatic Plant Management Society (APMS) is soliciting student
papers for the upcoming 49th Annual Meeting to be held July 12-15,
2009, at the Hyatt Regency in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Oral and poster
presentations of original research on the biology or ecology of
aquatic and wetland plants, control methods (biological, chemical,
cultural, mechanical) for invasive exotic or nuisance native plant
species, and restoration projects involving wetland or aquatic plants
are solicited. Last year, 17 students participated in the annual
meeting that concluded with a tour of regional programs related to
aquatic plant management that was sponsored by AERF, SC APMS, Santee
Cooper, Duke Energy, Clemson University, and the University of
Georgia.
The Society encourages students that have conducted original research
to present their findings and gain a valuable perspective on aquatic
plant problems and various management applications throughout the
U.S. The APMS has a strong ethic of student support and all
qualified attendees will be provided room accommodations (based on
double occupancy) and waiver of registration fees. In addition, 1st,
2nd, and 3rd place prize money will be awarded in separate contests
for both oral and poster presentations. This meeting presents an
opportunity for students to develop their presentation skills, learn
about the field of aquatic plant management, and network with key
Government, University, Industry representatives and peers with
similar educational and professional interests.
