USGS Frequently Asked Questions

Question:
Does the U.S. Geological Survey's Biological Resources Discipline have the power to regulate how I can use my land?
|
Answer: The BRD is non-regulatory, non-managerial, and non-advocacy. Our aim is to make the best possible scientific information available to resource managers, landowners, and the public. We do not make recommendations. Our scientists and biologists provide unbiased, factual scientific information to Federal agencies, State, and non-profit research institutions, landowners, businesses, industry, and private citizens. Regulatory and management decisions are made elsewhere in the government and in the private sector.
