Help facilitate review by interested Beringian partners, building community ownership in the project and increasing the value and use of the end product. - Because NPS staff is involved in ongoing research in the Beringian region, they will help connect to the scientific community that may wish to use the database and map in planning research in the area. - Assist with distribution and outreach. NPS newsletters and other standard media networking channels will be used to further awareness and use of the Submerged Beringia Map. 7. Why is the substantial involvement considered to be necessary?
