CommentsLake Minnetonka- Veterans Bay was a part of a study conducted by Dr. Ryan Thum (Montana State University), Dr. Ray Newman (University of Minnesota) and Eric Fieldseth (Minnehaha Creek Watershed District) to look at hybridization of Eurasian watermilfoil and Northern watermilfoil in several different sites in Central Minnesota. The authors confirmed hybrid milfoil in Lake Minnetonka - Veterans Bay during the summer 2016 survey. On Veterans Bay, a 50m grid (90 points sampled within the 4.6m littoral area) was created and sampled on July 11 and September 2, 2016.For more information regarding Minnetonka Lake- Veterans Bay Hybrid Milfoil see:Thum, R., Ray Newman, and E. Fieldseth. 2017. Occurrence and Distribution of Eurasian,Northern and Hybrid Watermilfoil in Lake Minnetonka and Christmas Lake: Genetic Analysis Phase II. Hennepin County, MN ?
