The Aquatic Plant Management Society (APMS) is committed to advancing the science, education, and practice of aquatic plant and algae management. As part of its strategic plan, APMS provides funding opportunities to support special projects including outreach, education, and research that contribute to the society’s mission and long-term goals. In addition, APMS encourages participation in its annual meeting, recognizing it as a vital platform for sharing new information, fostering collaboration, and enhancing management practices. Through these funding mechanisms, APMS aims to empower students, researchers, managers, and practitioners to make meaningful contributions to the field and the society’s strategic objectives.
