CHAPTER VI: REVIEW AND REVISION OF MISSISSIPPI’S CWCS 314

MDWFP will incorporate the data compiled for this effort into Mississippi's new Natural Heritage Program
database (Biotics) by the end of calendar year 2005 and any changes in status of species and their habitats
will be entered annually in this database and spatially. The SWG Coordinator and Technical Committee are
responsible for implementing the annual review and evaluation of the CWCS and will report annually to the
Executive Director and the Advisory Committee.

The SWG Coordinator and Technical Committee will conduct an annual, five and ten year assessment
using the original eight elements, along with other guidance and criteria as they become available. The
Steering Committee will oversee the review and revision process and will ensure that the CWCS continues
to follow the eight elements.
