Habitat Evaluation Procedures - This family of technologies was
designed to evaluate proposed impacts to fish and wildlife that
might result from human activities, including: reservoir projects;
channelization; surface mining activities; other habitat alterations;
or wildlife management actions. These technologies include the
development of habitat models for estuarine, inland aquatic, and
terrestrial species, with almost 100 models published to date.

Instream Flow Incremental Methodology - This methodology assesses
the effects of stream flow changes on recreation and fisheries
resources. It has been used to assess habitat and determine instream
flow needs in at least 300 applications. Some of the more notable
applications include the Terror River in Alaska, the Snoqualmie and
Skokomish Rivers in Washington, the Trinity River in California, the
Colorado River in Colorado, the Chattahoochee River in Georgia, the
Potomac River in Maryland and Virginia, and the Tweed River in New
South Wa 1 es.

Atlantic, Pacific, and Gulf Coast Ecological Inventory - Maps on a
scale of 1:250,000 were developed for planning so that decisionmakers
could identify important fish and wildlife resources. Coastal areas
conta i ni ng important fi sh and wil dl ife resources and habitat were
the focus of this effort. Maps were developed which delineated the
known distributions of animals and plants, the values of habitats,
protE!cted areas (e.g., parks), and values of mineral and water
resources.

National Wetland Inventory - In response to the increasing recogni-
tion of the roles and importance of wetlands, DBS initiated a project
to develop a scientifically sound definition of wetlands, a system
to hierarchically classify wetland communities, and a method to
inventory wetlands in the United States. Using these products, DBS
initiated the National Wetland Inventory (NWI) and conducted a
statistical sample to determine the rate of wetland change or loss
during the period 1955-1975.

Community and Estuarine Profiles - This ongoing report series
describes particular coastal and estuarine ecosystems and their
values. These reports synthesize existing ecological information
that is pertinent to a specific estuarine or coastal community
(e.g., Pocosins) or geographic area (e.g., Apalachicola Bay, FL).
They provide information on the dynamics of the ecosystem or
community, and the impacts of man's development on that system.

*

Air Pollution and Acid Rain Series - These reports discuss the
issues and impacts of acidic precipitation. The series addresses
both aquatic and terrestrial resources in affected areas of the U.S.
The 19 reports currently comprising the series provide some of the
most comprehensi ve i nformat ion avail ab 1 e on surface water vul ner-
ability, mitigation strategies, and biological effects. A mitigation
research program implemented in FY85 involves cooperative agreements
