What type of plants does the management goal usually focus on?

The management goal in aquatic pest control typically focuses on the types of plants required for specific water uses because this approach ensures that the ecosystem remains balanced and functional while meeting the needs of human activity. This might include promoting plant species that contribute positively to water quality, provide habitat for aquatic life, and support recreational activities, while also managing or controlling unwanted species that can disrupt these functions.

By concentrating on the plants needed for specific water uses, management efforts can be more targeted and effective, addressing the needs of local communities, industry, and ecological health. This strategy aligns with best practices in environmental management, which prioritize the promotion of beneficial species and mitigation of nuisances without indiscriminately targeting all plant types.
