Aquatic Vegetation Management Services
Founded in 2015 by Andrew Z Skibo PhD, a Certified Lake Manager (CLM) from the North American Lake Management Society (NALMS), Amaruq Environmental Services has since grown to become the premier lake and pond management service provider in the Rocky Mountain Region. Calling Western Montana home, we service clients from Colorado to Wyoming and Montana.
All of our projects start with an initial site visit, to include a BioBase™ survey for water volume estimation, a measurement of plant (both target and non) location and density, as well as a characterization of bottom composition.
When treating aquatic weeds and algae, our application portfolio is predominantly biological-based or OMRI/ANSI Standard-60 listed organic from our manufacturing partners like NatureLake Biosciences and Biosafe Solutions and backed by next-generation synthetics from today’s leading manufacturers of aquatic herbicides and algaecides.
Treatment success is more than just "weed control” and requires proper identification of the target species as well as the non-targets. During initial site surveys, we identify the plant community as well as determine the presence of any at risk species such as fish, as many of our management sites contain trout or are part of a broader Blue Ribbon fishery.
To confirm that site estimations were accurate and that treatment prescriptions were properly applied, applicators conduct on-site measurements as well as send water samples off for 3rd-party laboratory analysis. These results are supplied to site management along with PRE- and POST- treatment BioBase survey reports.
