The team at APEM have extensive expertise and experience in all aspects of aquatic plant ecology, from botanical surveys to advice on determination of ecological status.
APEM are regularly contracted to conduct botanical surveys and to provide expert advice on assessment and management options for determination of ecological status, as well as advising about the sensitive management of aquatic plants from recreational waters to enable fisheries and water sports.
Our aquatic macrophytes identification and assessment services are co-ordinated by our expert team of aquatic botanists, who have individual specialisms covering riverine, lacustrine and estuarine habitats.
Invasive, non-native species (INNS) are one of the leading threats to biodiversity in the modern world. Our skilled ecologists are experts in the identification, mitigation, control and eradication of INNS in rivers, lakes, canals and estuaries, Sites of Special Scientific Interest (SSSIs) and Special Areas of Conservation (SACs) throughout the UK and Ireland.
APEM have also consulted on projects from across the globe on projects involving some of the world’s most problematic aquatic weeds, such as floating waterfern (Salvinia molesta) and water hyacinth (Eichhornia crassipes).
