Description: "This project is defined and sponsored by the Western Energy and Land Use Team (WELUT) to promote more effective consideration of fish and wildlife resources in numerous state and federal decisions concerning western land, energy, mineral and water resources. 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"--Page 1.
