Attribute_Accuracy_Report:

The conservation areas have been verified and aligned to either hydrological units or ecoregions. This reflects the revision and review as submitted for Federal review in September, 2005. The plan will be updated again at 5-year intervals. The completeness is limited to species observed so is incomplete. Some species are more easily observed and surveyed that others.
