What did the survey show on non-invasive plants in Coventry Lake?
The same 2008 study showed findings on 12 other aquatic plants considered noninvasive to Coventry Lake.

American eelgrass was found in 15 of the 19 sections of the lake in 44 sample points. None of the sample points were rated with a dominant abundance and most were rated as only occasional.

Four native aquatic species were found in 3 sections of the lake along the southwestern and western shores but had less than 3 sample points each and only occasional-to-rare abundance. The four species are nodding water nymph, small pondweed, arrowhead, and little floating bladderwort.
