For example, a waterfowl biologist can determine the depths of water needed to produce different waterfowl food plants, but seldom is trained to design management systems that will allow the water control necessary to produce the desired habitat. Unfortunately, the engineering assistance needed to successfully complete a habitat project is often unavailable to a field biologist or refuge manager.
