What is Aquatic Native Vegetation?
Aquatic native vegetation is often defined as plants that occur naturally, without human interference, in a body of water. During the past few years, much attention has been given to aquatic vegetation in Smith Mountain Lake. Both native and non-native aquatic vegetation exist in SML. In our efforts to Protect Smith Mountain Lake, it is important that we differentiate between the two. Protecting the native vegetation is extremely beneficial to the Lake.
