This guide is intended to give land managers an introduction to managing invasive aquatic vegetation (IAV) in tidal wetland habitats, whether the site is established, has been recently restored, or tidal reconnection will soon occur. It addresses submerged aquatic vegetation (SAV), floating aquatic vegetation (FAV), and emergent aquatic vegetation (EAV). It compiles knowledge from land managers in the Delta and members of the Delta Interagency Invasive Species Coordination Team (DIISCT), whose purpose is to foster communication and collaboration among California state agencies, federal agencies, research and conservation groups, and other interested parties that detect, prevent, and manage invasive species and restore invaded habitats in the Delta. The authors hope this guide functions like asking an experienced colleague for recommendations as you start to consider your site’s IAV management. https://deltaconservancy.ca.gov/iav-quick-start-guide/
