BIOS is the California Department of Fish and Wildlife’s repository of biogeographic spatial data. BIOS enables management, visualization, and analysis of biogeographic data collected by CDFW and its Partner Organizations. In addition, BIOS facilitates the sharing of those data between those organizations and with the public. BIOS integrates GIS, relational database management, and ESRI's ArcGIS Server and ArcGIS Online technologies in a statewide, integrated information management tool that can be accessed through a web browser. Most of the datasets are open to the public while other datasets are secured for limited access.
