                      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.

       Management Society and this year’s meeting.  Students may register
