Looking for USGS NAS reviewers
The Nonindigenous Aquatic Species (NAS; https://nas.er.usgs.gov/)
information resource for the United States Geological Survey is seeking
experts to review recently updated aquatic species profiles.
Located at Gainesville, Florida, NAS has been established as a central
repository for spatially referenced biogeographic accounts of introduced
aquatic species. The program provides scientific reports,
online/realtime queries, spatial data sets, distribution maps, and
general information in species profiles on nonindigenous aquatic
species. The data are made available for use by biologists, interagency
groups, and the general public. The geographical coverage is the United
States (contiguous US, Alaska, Hawaii, and US territories).
We are seeking experts to review recently updated aquatic species
profiles and provide journal-style edits. If you would like to
contribute please email *Wesley Daniel* (wdan...@usgs.gov
