Blunting the invasion: Conservationists take aim at Vancouver Island spartina

  • Spartina densiflora and Spartina patens are invasive species affecting Vancouver Island's coastline by outcompeting native plants, as noted by Ducks Unlimited Canada.
  • The removal methods vary: Spartina densiflora can be dug out, while Spartina patens requires herbicide treatment, according to Ducks Unlimited Canada.
  • Ducks Unlimited Canada's conservation efforts on Vancouver Island have increased, starting earlier this year to combat these invasive plants and aiming for a 60% reduction in their spread.
  • Public participation is encouraged using the Report Invasive Species app or by emailing with pictures and locations to aid in tracking these invasive species, as explained by Taylor Marriott.
