Mosquito Ditch

Term · Environment · MLC-T-ENV-017804

Straight, narrow channels that were dug to drain the upper reaches of salt marshes in order to control the populations of mosquitoes that breed there. However, draining the standing water also impacts populations of mosquito-eating fish that live in those waters (http://www.edc.uri.edu/restoration/html/intro/salt.htm).
