J�_.� �� 3_'k•U!'a i .c �� � 4? _ F My% 22�F lJ Y Diver Assisted Suction Harvesting (D.A.S.H) The process of hand harvesting and DASH harvesting is the same.Essentially you are hand pulling every plant you just have a more efficient way to get the plants to the surface.DASH harvesting is much more effective than bag/hand harvesting in large patches of invasive aquatic species. For each DASH operation there are three on site personnel.Attached to each DASH boat is a suction hose of varied lengths(30ft,Soft,75ft etc.).The diver works at the end of the hose harvesting the invasive species with both hands. Divers are trained to keep as much sediment undisturbed as possible when harvesting.This includes using both hands to squeeze the root of the plant(the crown)before lifting it from the bottom and placing it in the suction hose.This allows the diver to keep his visibility. The suction hose does not come in contact with the lake bottom when harvesting.Instead it is attached to the divers BC(buoyancy compensator)by a tether and suspended off the bottom with a buoy.The end of the hose remains at least 1 ft off the lake bottom when harvesting,keeping any unnecessary sediment from entering the hose.Any sediment that does get sucked into the hose is either collected with the invasive weeds or sent through the filtration tray.
