Aquatic Plant and Wetland Links

This page contains links to just a few of the several sites concerned with aquatic plants and wetlands in general. I have chosen these based on their overall informative capability concerning these topics. I'm sure that sites exist that are quite informative that are not listed here. Using the word "Wetland" in a search engine (Infoseek) produces over 20,000 sites! While using the words "Aquatic Plants" does not produce as many sites, all of the sites produced using the keyword "Wetland" deal with aquatic plants to varying degrees.

I have rated the following sites on a scale of 1-10 with 10 being the most informative. The "information" is relative and are those that I personally found to be the best. What I rank a 10 you make rank a 1 and vice-versa depending on what type of information you are looking for. It is however, a starting point in which to gather information regarding aquatic plants and wetlands in general.
