3 Example Decision Support System

4 Our Decision Support System is: A pilot project Document-based Geographically referenced Initially intended for use by New Mexico Department of Game and Fish personnel Ultimately publicly accessible Intended to facilitate access to Department information Intended to provide a resource for future conservation efforts and tie in with other Department information systems (e.g., BISON-M; NM CHAT)

5 Biota Information System of New Mexico
