Summary
Description
Effective management of marine turtle data is essential to maximize their research value and enable timely population assessments and recovery monitoring. To provide such capabilities at the National Marine Fisheries Service, a comprehensive Turtle Data Processing System (TDPS, formally called Marine Turtle Data Management System) was created. The system was written in DBase III and Clipper and implemented on IBM/PC-compatible computers running under MS-DOS. As of 2003, TDPS was upgraded into Microsoft Access. The TDPS is modular, supporting data of various types. Cross-referencing and multiple-encounter analysis are enabled through a core database file of individual turtle identifications, based on uniquely-inscribed flipper tags and passive-integrative transponder tags.

The Lower Souris Migratory Waterfowl Refuge now known as the J. Clark Salyer National Wildlife Refuge is located just south of the Canadian border in North Dakota. The refuge was established and constructed by the CCC in 1935 to restore waterfowl habitat. This report gives an overview of events taking place on the refuge in November of 1937. A discussion of the unusual fall migration opens up the report followed by law enforcement on the refuge. The W.P.A project got started on the first of November; there are 34 men working under the setup. Predator control started up again, employing four CCC trappers. Other projects included feeding and upland shelters, corn harvest, cover mapping, bird banding, fire control, truck trails, highway 5 sloping, fencing, gauging stations, snow fences and tree planting. The report concludes with a photographs section.

The Digital Flood Insurance Rate Map (DFIRM) Database depicts flood risk information and supporting data used to develop the risk data. The primary risk classifications used are the 1-percent-annual-chance flood event, the 0.2-percent-annual- chance flood event, and areas of minimal flood risk. The DFIRM Database is derived from Flood Insurance Studies (FISs), previously published Flood Insurance Rate Maps (FIRMs), flood hazard analyses performed in support of the FISs and FIRMs, and new mapping data, where available. The FISs and FIRMs are published by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). The file is georeferenced to earth's surface using the South Carolina (FIPS 3900) State Plane projection and coordinate system. The specifications for the horizontal control of DFIRM data files are consistent with those required for mapping at a scale of 1:12,000.

There is growing evidence that pollinators are declining worldwide. In order to address the growing concern for pollinators, their needs in a changing climate and landscape, and their role in perpetuating functional Refuge habitats, the USFWS Region 1 Branch of Refuge Biology has initiated two regionwide pilot bee monitoring projects. The first project is to identify the primary bee fauna of select refuges within Region 1. The second is to identify the bee fauna associated with shrubsteppe habitat along a northsouth gradient from northern Washington to northern Nevada. Pollinating species include a range of insects, birds, and mammals and are responsible for the pollination and thus continued persistence of over 75 of flowering plants. While bees and butterflies are the most widely recognized pollinators, other insects such as moths, flies and beetles also provide pollination services. Some species function as pollinators in only an incidental role while pursuing plant nectar, while others such as bees are primary pollinators that purposefully gather pollen for provisioning young. There is growing evidence that pollinators are declining worldwide. In the United States, four species of bumble bees are considered vulnerable to extinction, including the western bumble bee Bombus occidentalis which was once considered to be the most abundant bumble bee in the western United States. The Franklins bumble bee Bombus franklinii endemic to northern California and southwestern Oregon is approaching extinction as repeated intensive surveys have not relocated this species since 2006. Within Region 1 excluding Hawaii, the Xerces Societys Red List of atrisk to endangered pollinators includes five species of butterflies and twenty species of bees; in Hawaii, one butterfly and twentyfive bees are listed.

The current FMIS system, which was defined in 1999 and implemented in 2002, is based on a mainframe platform that is extremely outdated. The current design is at a dead-end client server, and it is difficult and costly to find qualified employees to just maintain the current system. An IT solution is necessary to ensure compliance with DOT Security Standards (timeout), eliminate costly manual programming processes for software commands, improve ease-of-use, and enhance oversight and reporting. Using an IT solution, the current system would be re-written in a more modern solution (Visual Studio .Net). All of the financial systems would be consolidated into one (FMIS, RASPS, and DIMS). The modified system would comply with all DOT security standards, address current and future needs, and automatically generate software commands.
