PASES Aqua can undertake revegetation projects from project planning through to site preparation, planting and ongoing maintenance.
Lake revegetation requirements may be described within the framework of a lake management plan. lake revegetation may sound like a simple task but needs to be professionally prescribed to account for:
- Geographical location (i.e. species, provenance)
- Advantageous micro climates within site (i.e. planting diagrams may be required that consider sun, water flow, weed densities, water depth and distance from shorelines/ zoning etc)
- Water quality requirements (i.e. salinity, groundwater, tannins, nutrients)
- Climate and season to install (e.g. storms, flooding, drought etc)
- Impact on existing vegetation (e.g. competition, replacement etc)
- Frog species diversity
- Water bird species diversity
- Native fish and macro invertebrate diversity
- Declared Rare or Priority Species habitat
- Ecological linkages/ habitat corridors for fauna migration
Revegetation is considered a valuable and credible biodiversity offset. A great deal of practical and theoretical knowledge of wetland ecology is required to understand and accommodate the above factors. The plan should also include restoring components of composition, structure, and functional processes – reference wetlands may also be used as a benchmark. PASES Aqua takes all the above factors into account when undertaking lake revegetation, design and installation.

Our team has had great success in many different environments. Our expertise allows us to only plant species that will thrive and plant in locations best for growth. Some plant deaths are to be expected especially dependent on seasons and external factors such as livestock (cattle ,sheep etc.) and feral fish (submerged soft bodied plants)
Simply contact our business found in our contact page. We can arrange an on-site consultation to best recommend how to proceed.
Yes, we have had great success with transplanting soft bodied species Potamogeton crispis, Potamogeton ochreatus and Nitella sp (macroalgae). We have historically used diving gear to transplant in deeper zones. We also deliver and install floating wetland panels if land based isn’t an option.
