Radar Detection and Monitoring of Invasive Phragmites in the Coastal Great Lakes
The GLRI Phragmites Decision Support Tool (DST) Mapper is now available. The DST Mapper is intended to provide resource managers with information to strategically develop effective Phragmites control and invasion prevention programs in the Great Lakes coastal zone.
