Good record keeping is an important part of efficiently managing a biocontrol project. Besides site card files, computer spread-sheets and photographic files, valuable reference and feedback information can be included in consignment sheets returned by collaborators.

Routine notification of local authorities, project collaborators (and of course funding bodies) of liberations, establishments and other 'milestone' events in the program may be of great help in avoiding problems and preserving good relationships. As mentioned in the taxonomy section, plant and insect specimens should be provided to relevant authorities, including local museums.

Additional public relations activities may include producing information leaflets and making media releases.
