..including deleting sites.
This is not recommended, because it precludes future modifications of the directory to display historic monitoring.
However, this is the only option to remove sites from the database that were entered in error.

Make sure to hit save after making changes, or they will be lost!
www.aquaticsciencecenter.org
Click “Add Site” site to enter additional sampling sites.
www.aquaticsciencecenter.org
There are two options: 1) selecting from a list of sites that are already entered in the database (by other agencies/ programs, or 2) entering new sites in the database
www.aquaticsciencecenter.org
New Parameters can be added to all sites of a program, to individual sites, or to multiple sites.
Parameters can only be added to existing sites.

ALWAYS make sure to hit save after making changes, or they will be lost!
Edit Selected Sites tab:
Existing parameters may also be deleted.
Deleting parameters is not recommended, unless they have been entered by mistake, because it precludes future modifications of the directory to display historic monitoring.
