Testimonials
"The U.S. Commission on Ocean Policy, the Hatchery Scientific Review Group, and other organizations have given us an effective road map we can use to better manage our oceans, rivers, and estuaries. The next challenge now before us: implementing these reforms and plans. The Environmental Knowledge Organizer is a promising system that gives the natural resource community the information technology it needs to meet this challenge." Congressman Norm Dicks "The only way people are going to trust that the government is acting in their interest is if the government is very transparent, and everything the government is doing is known in real-time. This kind of technology can permit people living in the watersheds, who are knowledgeable about projects, to display all the information related to them as clearly and succinctly as possible so the individual citizen can simply click in their area, see what is going on and how it is going to impact them." Bill Ruckelshaus "EKO-System is the tool we have been looking for. It is helping us pull all of our data into one place and make it easily accessible for us and our project partners, funders, and the community. By sharing information in a way that is accessible to all, it makes it easier for us to accomplish our goal of protecting and restoring our watershed's health and to share information about our progress with everyone." Jeanette Dorner "Reporting the accomplishments achieved by a myriad of implementing entities at the geographic scale necessary for watershed restoration and protection is imperative and in the absence of the EKO-System, aggregating regional activities has proven nearly impossible." Lars Mobrand, Ph.D. "I am pleased to see the development of a system that will hopefully lead to common data for all watersheds. Paladin Data has been great to work with and I appreciate their innovation and integrity. Having an outside entity stand back and look at how we can better manage and integrate habitat data could well be the solution we are seeking: more efficient management, better accountability and faster reporting. EKO-System promises to deliver all three." Chris Endresen This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it |
