Staffing Approach:
Recognizing the amazingly diverse need for scientifically-sound advise on a multitude of natural resource issues; SWAG maintains a small core of scientists with very diverse abilities; however, even these key staff are unable to meet all the client demands in an the ever more complex arena of resource conservation.
