Comments | On August 30th, 2023, Alex and Prof. Reuben Keller returned to Jackson Park Inner Harbor. During the second visit they found that starry stonewort covers an area of at least several hundred square meters. Over this area it was growing densely with few other macrophytes present. A full survey was not attempted due to time and water condition constraints. |
