The FWS has the authority to designate land and freshwater species as
endangered or threatened and to identify their current habitat or range. The
National Marine Fisheries Service has the same authority for marine species.
The FWS has the authority to prosecute persons, including pesticide us-

personnel have the authority to ensure that pesticide users observe labeling
restrictions.
