Aquatics Magazine Submission Guidelines
Florida Aquatic Plant Management Society, Inc
Aquatics magazine is published quarterly as the official publication of the Florida Aquatic Plant Management Society. This publication is intended to keep all interested parties informed on matters as they relate to aquatic plant management, particularly in Florida. The magazine accepts informative articles, summaries of scientific papers, and editorial reviews that focus on aquatic plant management, aquatic wildlife, or related topics. Articles that clearly advertise specific products or technologies will not be accepted unless coauthored by an impartial party (such as a university or public agency) and worded in such a way as to inform the readers without necessarily soliciting purchases of said products or technologies.
All members are encouraged to submit articles regarding techniques, “tips of the trade”, equipment reviews, research in process, helpful web sites, summaries of scientific papers, or any information associated with aquatic plant management. Please contact the editor via email.
