In the 2012 President's Budget Request, the National Biological Information Infrastructure (NBII) is terminated. As a result, all resources, databases, tools, and applications within this web site will be removed on January 15, 2012. For more information, please refer to the NBII Program Termination page.
Salmon migrate across large geographic areas throughout their lifetimes. State of the Salmon is a non-profit organization that focuses on status and trends of salmon in the North Pacific. The map gallery includes maps of salmon diversity, salmon hatcheries, distribution, and risk of extinction. Also, there is a series of maps illustrating varying scales of salmon ecoregions. Data can be queried, downloaded, and mapped on-line.
Regional Maps & Data
These mapping applications and datasets are being developed at a regional scale because rivers and aquatic species do not follow man-made boundaries.
In May 2003, personnel from the University of Oregon approached Yellowstone National Park with a unique opportunity to produce a state-of-the art, data-rich Atlas of Yellowstone. This will be the first comprehensive atlas of a U.S. national park. The atlas, hoped eventually to be published in book form, will describe and explain the human and natural setting of Yellowstone National Park; provide readers with an understanding of how Yellowstone National Park is unique, yet also inextricably connected to the surrounding region; describe and explain the complex interplay of the human and natural processes and features in the park; and document the rich tapestry of dynamic changes in processes and responses across varying scales of space and time.
The Wisconsin DNR and the U.S. Geological Survey's Wisconsin Aquatic Gap Program developed this application to provide a dynamic, queriable, geographically referenced interface to get information out of the WI DNR's Star Schema Database. This database contains a wealth of historic fish sampling information collected by a variety of agencies and tribes. Check it out at http://infotrek.er.usgs.gov/fishmap.

The goal of the GAP Analysis Program is to keep common species common by identifying those species and plant communities that are not adequately represented in existing conservation lands. Common species are those not currently threatened with extinction. By identifying their habitats, GAP Analysis gives land managers and policy makers the information they need to make better-informed decisions when identifying priority areas for conservation.
Viral hemorrhagic septicemia virus (VHSV) is an important viral pathogen of finfish that is reportable by many nations and international organizations. To facilitate the cataloging of VHSV data available for fish health managers and researchers, the Molecular Epidemiology of Aquatic Pathogens-VHSV (MEAP-VHSV) Fish Virus Database interface was developed in a collaboration between the USGS Western Fisheries Research Center, the Northwest Alliance for Computational Science and Engineering at Oregon State University, and the NBII Pacific Northwest Information Node.
The NBII Program is administered by the Biological Informatics Program of the U.S. Geological Survey
