Tennesse National River Authority, which supplies hydroelectric power to lotsa places around there. They built a dam, and..............

Data on ducks that are now extinct, for investigating some historic crash? Or merely bird migration patterns, so they can plan routes around them?

I'll give you a +3 for bird migratory patterns because that is one area of expertise they cover.
