indicated on page margins. If you use traditional degrees and
minutes, convert the minutes to decimal degrees by multiplying
by 1.667, i.e. 45º35' = 45 + (35 x 1.667 = 58.3) = 45.58
(rounded to two places).

Site Type: Check all
applicable categories. If the site is unique in some way, do
not hesitate to qualify it under “Other”.

Note: It’s up to you how
narrowly you define your sites, but it is desirable that they
be based fairly closely on type of habitat. For example, you
might discriminate between a lake and the woods and the fields
surrounding it. The insects found at the lake will be
different in species composition and abundance than those
found in the surrounding terrain. Similarly, you might
separately define the shallow bay of a large lake, the still
water of a stream or river, or a complex of ponds in a marsh
-- any sub-site that seems to have unique properties in the
overall habitat.
