Problem
Threatened lacustrine unconsolidated shore habitats
Other Names:
Endangered unconsolidated habitats of littoral zone of lakes and reservoirsThreatened lacustrine unconsolidated bottom shoreline habitats
Nature:
Because of high rates of sedimentation, reservoirs, smaller inundation lakes, and farm ponds are very short-lived.Acidification, toxic substances and pollution resulting in accelerated eutrophication, are threatening the littoral zones of lakes and reservoirs. Shore line habitats are also threatened from development; industrial, agricultural, tourism and housing.
