Species Observations (poly) - San Diego County [ds648]
Dataset Identification:
Resource Abstract:
Created in 2009, the SanBIOS database serves as a single repository of species observations collected by various departments
within the County of San Diego's Land Use and Environment Group. Coordination of biological species tracking between departments
ensures a complete dataset, meeting a specific data standard, and will provide the best available information to environmental
scientists, advocacy groups, all County departments, and various agencies.

SanBIOS was modified from the County of San Diego's Department of Planning and Land Use's Biological Observation Database
(BOD). Background of the BOD: The County of San Diego owns or is in the process of acquiring key lands within the Multiple
Species Conservation Program (MSCP) preserve area. The MSCP Biological Monitoring Plan requires monitoring of covered plant
species. The County of San Diego was awarded two Natural Communities Conservation Planning (NCCP) Program Local Assistance
Grants to accomplish the first phase of the monitoring program, i.e., collecting baseline data for covered plant species.
The study area of this grant was amended to include lands in San Vicente (Boys and Girl's Club) Ecological Reserve that were
originally included in the statement of work for the NCCP Local Assistance grant No. P0050008. The lands in the total amended
study area, from north to south are open space areas in Santa Fe Valley, County-owned portions of Lusardi Creek, open space
areas conveyed to the County of San Diego in 4S Ranch, San Vicente Open Space Preserve, McGinty Mountain preserve lands, Hollenbeck
Canyon Wildlife Area, and lands north and south of the eastern arm of Otay Lakes. Portions of Rancho Jamul Ecological Reserve
were also surveyed.

This catalog of species observations have been recorded by professional biologists from the County of San Diego as well as
from various other agencies and firms. These data serve many functions: they serve as a baseline catalog of species records
in the MSCP preserve systems (including invasive species) in the incorporated areas of San Diego County, they are used to
direct the location of future permanent plot surveys and for uses in various monitoring projects, they are used in the testing
and validation of predictive species niche models and to comply with CEQA regulations, and they are used to identify and monitor
invasive species. It is important to note these observations are an indication of confirmed species presence at the time of
the survey but offer no indication of species absence. The types of surveys performed to collect these data were variable,
ranging from highly organized and standardized surveys to random observations based on change.
