| Abstract | ||
| Ecological survey of six sites in three main restored marshes (Huwaiza, Chebaish and East Hammar) was carried out during 2006 and 2007 to study the re-establishment and distribution of aquatic macrophytes. A total of 44 species were recorded, only 1 exotic (Hydrilla verticillata) was found in all three marshes after inundation. Ricciocarpus natans (Bryophytes) was new record in Chebaish marsh, while Cyperus aucheri, Torulinium odoratum , badderwort (Utricularia australis) and saw grass (Cladium mariscus) were observed in Huwaiza marsh for the first time in this study. The highest number of aquatic plants was registered in Huwaiza marsh (35) in comparison with Chebaish (27) and E.Hammar marsh (24). The present study showed that the aquatic macrophyte species restoration percentage were 97.22%, 61.36% and 63.15% in Huwaiza, Chebaish and E.Hammar marsh respectively | ||
