Geographic Information System (GIS) analyses are an essential part of natural resource management and research. Calculating and summarizing data within intersecting GIS layers is common practice for analysts and researchers. However, the various tools and steps required to complete this process are slow and tedious, requiring many tools iterating over hundreds, or even thousands of datasets. We propose to combine a series of ArcGIS geoprocessing capabilities with custom scripts to create tools that will calculate, summarize, and organize large amounts of data that can span many temporal and spatial scales with minimal user input. The tools work with polygons, lines, points, and rasters to calculate relevant summary...

The Conservation Efforts Database (CED) has evolved and expanded in recent years, adding newfeatures, functions, and two new modules to track recovery of federally-listed species. The developmentneeds identified by our partners require additional outreach and training to ensure the CED is populatedand information is readily available for policy and management decision support. Currently, thoseoutreach and training needs have not been met given turnover and lack of capacity. Support for thisproposal would significantly increase the ability of USFWS and USGS to increase awareness of the CED,share updates on outputs and associated products, and deliver the updated training materials neededfor data-providing partners...
