Aquatic pesticide best management practices and relational database for the protection of NOAA trust species

Creator:: Gianou, Kelsey, Lam, Jennifer, Emanuel, Robert, Jepson, Paul, and Chan, Sam
Abstract:: Pesticides are widely used to control undesirable pests and may be applied directly to water or lands directly adjacent to water.
