Aquatic Wetlands Floating on the Deep Aquatic beds are found neat the edges of lakes or stream. The area is sheltered and quiet.
Some plants grow underwater.
Other plants float on top of the water or their leaves float on water. Waterlily, duckweed and pondweed grow in water that may be 3 to 6 feet deep. Waterfowl feed and rest in aquatic beds. Fish spawn and feed in aquatic areas. Aquatic wetland photo is from University of Florida Aquatic Plant Gallery.
