OpportunityTitle: Cooperative Partnership for Evaluating Wetland Conservation and Waterfowl Abundance
Description: The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service) is the principal Federal agency providing information to the public and other agencies on the extent and status of the Nation&#146;s wetlands. The Service&#146;s National Standards and Support Team (NSST) is responsible for the development and application of all digital data functions relating to the Service&#146;s wetland maps and habitat data holdings. Providing geospatial data, supporting data modeling and analysis capabilities in support of the Ecological Services function of the Service is a priority for this Team. Ducks Unlimited, Inc. (DU) is the world&#146;s largest and most effective private waterfowl and wetlands conservation organization and has as its mission to conserve, restore, and manage wetlands and associated habitats for North America&apos;s waterfowl. DU has been actively involved in remote sensing and classification of wetlands since 1983. DU&#146;s staff deals with emerging technologies in remote sensing wetland habitats, landscape change studies and geographic information science. Through collaboration, both organizations mutually benefit from technology and process developments.
