Nabugabo Lakes: A reserve for unique macrophytes
Nabugabo lakes, a complex of wetland systems, are a part of a much bigger ecological system including Sango bay wetlands, Dimo forests and swamps through the Nabugabo area to Nakiga Bay and swamps within the Lake Victoria basin. Because of the unique ecological setting of the Nabugabo lakes (Nabugabo itself, and three smaller lakes) a survey of aquatic macrophytes was undertaken between October 1999 and January 2000. The lakeshore macrophytes were identified from a boat cruising along the shore and transects were established to identify the macrophytes that were far from the lake shore towards the terrestrial areas.
