Description: "The goal of this two year project is to develop an operational capability within the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) to accept, store, manipulate, and output spatially related data for use in a variety of FWS programs. This includes not only the data that has been and will continue to be collected by the FWS, but also includes data available in computerized and non-computerized data files of other federal and state natural resource management agencies...this report culminates the first of seven project tasks"--Page 1.
