Has your lake become choked with dangerous, smelly, invasive plants?
Have you tried the “chemical route” and over the long haul have found that you’re not winning the battle with these aggressive plants? Additionally, after years of chemical applications, are you left with layer after layer of muck?
As lake owners, we too were seeing thick stands of invasive plants and muck that were dangerously close to our swimming and boat launch areas. Fortunately for us, we were introduced to Dr. Jennifer L. Jermalowicz-Jones and Restorative Lake Sciences (RLS) in 2013. We also contacted the Higgins Lake Foundation and found a great mentoring group there to help us on our Aquatic Invasive Species (AIS) journey. In addition, help was found with the Michigan Lakes and Streams Association (MLSA) and other association members attending their informative, yearly conferences. As were others, we were searching for an affordable, reliable and safe method for (AIS) plant containment and removal.
In 2018, we also met a local diver with twenty plus years of commercial diving experience with the Detroit Police Department. Mike Smith and MTT DASH Divers is now an integral part of our Duxnaro Boat Builders solution. In addition to our own lake’s successes with this hand harvesting method, Mike’s company has gained many concerned advocates and clients including state agencies and regional associations by building awareness of our customized boats for the safe removal of Aquatic Invasive Species (AIS).
Please contact us to discuss your lake’s aquatic invasive species (AIS) needs while taking a positive stand for a healthy alternative to chemical applications.
Since 2018, Duxnaro Boat Builders, LLC has been building quality, customized Diver Assisted Hand Harvesting Boats for the safe and effective removal of Aquatic Invasive Species (AIS).
