Conservation Technology Support Program and ESRI
The Conservation Technology Support Program, with the support of the Earth Science Research Institute (ESRI), awarded a grant for hardware and software to the Institute for Fisheries Resources (IFR), which made it possible to assemble the KRIS Navarro Map project. The Conservation Technology Support Program (CTSP) annually awards grants for equipment, software and training to tax-exempt conservation organizations to build their Geographic Information Systems (GIS) capacity.
California Department of Conservation, Division of of Mines and Geology
The California Division of Mines and Geology (CDMG), a part of the Department of Conservation, provided preliminary geological information for the KRIS Navarro Map project.
