Manomin – Wisconsin’s Wild Rice
Wild rice, or manomin, has long been an important food source for both people and wildlife. Once abundant across Wisconsin’s shallow lakes and rivers, it was especially valued by the Ojibwe and Menominee tribes.
Today, many wild rice beds have been lost due to pollution, invasive species, and fluctuating water levels. Aquarius Systems’ equipment helps restore these natural habitats by removing excess vegetation and reopening waterways.

Milfoil — Beating back the invader
Along the Columbia River, milfoil, an invasive aquatic weed, can make boating and recreation difficult. Park maintenance crews use a milfoil harvester, which cuts and collects the plants, keeping waterways clear and safe for visitors.
Once harvested, the milfoil is taken to compost piles, where it naturally breaks down, providing an eco-friendly solution for managing invasive plants. This method helps maintain the river environment while ensuring parks remain accessible and enjoyable.
What is an Aquatic Weed Harvester?
Aquatic Weed Harvesters provide an environmentally friendly way to manage nuisance vegetation in lakes, ponds, and waterways of all sizes. Acting like an underwater lawn mower, they cut and collect submerged, emergent, and floating plants to keep water clear and usable.
Each machine uses a forward conveyor and cutter bars to remove weeds, storing them on board before offloading at shore. Aquarius Systems offers a range of customizable models to meet specific lake and vegetation needs, helping restore balance to aquatic environments.
