Lakeshore Section Descriptions for Eurasian Watermilfoil Monitoring
In association with its Stewardship Program, the Joe's Pond Association (JPA) Eurasian Watermilfoil Management Committee (EWMMC) has designated 12 lakeshore sections to facilitate vigilance, patrolling and survey activities intended to monitor and identify new establishments of the invasive aquatic plant, Eurasian Watermilfoil (EWM). Each lakeshore section is described and depicted on the EWM management map below.
A volunteer Lakeshore Section Coordinator (LSC) has been assigned to each section. Each LSC has received training in EWM identification, marker buoy placement and reporting protocols. The LSC is responsible for recruiting volunteer surveyors and patrollers within their assigned lakeshore section, confirming EWM identification, providing and ensuring placement of JPA-issued marker buoys, and notifying the EWM Harvesting Coordinator, Jim Bernotas [email protected] and EWM Management Coordinator Barry Cahoon [email protected] that a new outbreak of EWM has been found and providing its general location.
The LSC shall also track the coverage of surveying activities and ensure that the entire littoral zone (out to a 15 ft. depth) adjacent to their assigned lakeshore section is monitored regularly (full coverage at least once every two weeks (May 15-Oct. 1). The extent of the littoral zone is also depicted on the EWM management map.

Monitoring and identification of newly established EWM is one of the most critical actions necessary to contain EWM proliferation. Please contact any one of the LSCs assigned to the shoreline area of interest to you if you are interested in contributing tosurveying and monitoring activities. Contact information is available in the JPA Directory
Activities of the LSC’s are under the general coordination and supervision of the EWMMC. Any questions or requests for assistance should be directed to Barry Cahoon, JPA EWM Management Coordinator [email protected] (we’ll change this as soon as we find another existing or future committee member to take on the job)
