Southeastern SGCN Database & Associated Documents

The Southeastern SGCN database and associated documents were developed or identified in coordination with the Southeastern Association of Fish and Wildlife Agencies, Wildlife Diversity Committee, SWAP Enhancement Working Group. All of these documents can be downloaded and used in full or in part for your state’s SWAP revision. Georgia’s version of the database is provided here as an example. However, the database can be easily customized with the species that your state wants to include in its SWAP revision. Please direct any inquiries to gabiodata@dnr.ga.gov and use the term “SWAP DATABASE HELP” in your email subject line (Please copy your State’s SWAP Coordinator on the email).
