I want to make a comment about volunteers that would come under the jurisdiction of USGS as far as collecting data on species. In Maine and Maryland, recently volunteers are the ones who collected the data that was used by the National Biological Survey that would now be incorporated into the USGS to delist bald eagles. It was the important use of those volunteers that went out into the field, very well-trained, the information was verified, and in the State of Maine now and the State of Maryland, the bald eagle is now delisted from endangered to threatened. That was the value of volunteers. It could not have been done without those valuable, trained volunteers.
