Located in northwestern New Jersey, the Musconetcong River is a tributary of the Delaware River. The river is part of a unique freshwater ecosystem that supports diverse aquatic life, including a variety of aquatic plants. Aquatic plants provide essential habitat, oxygenate water, and can contribute to nutrient cycling. Certain aquatic plants can help stabilize riverbanks, reduce erosion, and support fish populations and wildlife.

Learn more about aquatic plants are present in the Musconetcong River and how to identify them by attending this presentation.Â
