Biological Resources
This field focuses on the study of living organisms and their relationship to their environment. It entails researching problems dealing with life processes and living organisms and providing comprehensive and scientifically sound biological assessments, inventories of natural resources and environmental impact reports (EIRs). Strong scientific research skills can be used both out in the field and in the lab to examine and evaluate land for development and conservation.
It also studies and evaluates habitat, wildlife and plant life in order to formulate habitat conservation plans (HCP). This research can lead to developments that protect and improve our environment as well as help to reduce the impact of construction and land development.
Special areas of knowledge include endangered species, GIS and spatial analysis, as well as wetlands delineation and streambed alteration agreements. Sections 404 and 401 of the Clean Water Act and section 10 of the U.S. Rivers and Harbors Act are of particular importance in this field.
