Interagency Agreement between the National Science Foundation and the US Department of Fish and Wildlife

美国鱼类和野生动物局向极地项目办公室提供了支持，允许圣克鲁斯的加州大学的詹姆斯·埃斯蒂斯博士的项目使用MV Tiglax。题为“引进的狐狸和海鸟：自上而下的进程在控制海洋对陆地生态系统的补贴方面的作用”的项目（1999 -85814）在阿留申群岛进行了15天的工作，从2001年8月7日开始，到8月22日结束。该船与该类型的工作非常匹配，并且该公司打算与美国鱼类和野生动物部门达成一项机构间协议，以便将来使用MV Tiglax提供支持。

US Fish and Wildlife have provided support to the Office of Polar Programs by allowing the project of Dr. James Estes, University of California, Santa Cruz, to use the MV Tiglax. The project (OPP 99-85814) titled "Introduced Foxes And Seabirds: The Role Of Top-Down Processes In Controlling Marine Subsidies To Terrestrial Ecosystems" worked in the Aleutian Islands, for 15 days, beginning 7th August ending 22 August, 2001. The vessel was well matched for the type of work, and OPP intends to develop an interagency agreement with US Fish and Wildlife for future support using MV Tiglax.
