Overview_Description:
Entity_and_Attribute_Overview:
The Points table holds the locational information describing where invasive species have been observed in the State of Delaware. The Observations table holds information on the type of invasive species found, links to attributes of the property where the species was found and to attributes of the landowners of the property.
