The sources of information were: the International Tracking System (ITS) database records for the Atlantic Coast Joint Venture, the NAWCA databases maintained by the USFWS Division of Bird Habitat Conservation and the Atlantic Coast Joint Venture, the National Coastal Wetland Conservation Act grant FAIMS database and project files, the National Wildlife Refuge System Realty database of Lands Under the Control of the NWRs, the Ducks Unlimited, Inc. national accomplishment database, the USFWS habITS database, the Nature Conservancy accomplishment database, contributions from state Waterfowl Technical Committee members for activities accomplished by their agencies, contributions from National Forest Service biologists, contributions from regional and state Partners for Fish and Wildlife Coordinators, and other sources. Although significant efforts were made to avoid double-counting acreage accomplishments that were shared among these programs, limited information on some of these projects make it likely that some double-counting occurred.
