Shaping the Future
The NBII is an initiative of the U.S.
Geological Survey's Biological Resources Division (BRD) to foster the
development of a distributed electronic "federation" of biological
data and information, relying on a network of partners and cooperators
to make the data they generate and/or maintain available to others through
this federation. The objectives of the NBII are to make it easier for people
to find the biological data and information they need, to integrate or
combine data and information from different sources, and to apply data
and information to actual resource management decisions. biological data.
The NBII contibuted funds to help put the Glacier Bay Ecosystem GIS on
