BIOS (Biogeographic Information and Observation System)

BIOS is an online map viewer designed to enable the management, visualization, and analysis of biogeographic data collected by the California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW) and partner organizations. BIOS facilitates the sharing of those data within CDFW as well as with the public. BIOS integrates GIS, relational database management, and ESRI's ArcGIS Server technology to create a statewide, integrated information management tool that can be accessed via the Internet.
