Project Description

The capacity of aquatic plant managers to successfully control aquatic plant infestations is highly dependent on their ability to access pertinent and up-to-date information on ecology, biology, systematics, identification, and environmentally compatible management techniques. However, such a task is becoming increasingly more difficult because the existing knowledge base, in the form of technical reports, journal articles, oral presentations, videotapes, etc., is already sizable and increasing rapidly. An efficient mechanism is needed to access such diverse and important information.



Toward this goal, the "Aquatic Plant Information System (APIS)" was developed. This program is the result of combining various information systems, which were developed over the last several years, into one integrated package.
