Created in 2009, the SanBIOS database serves as a single repository of speciesobservations collected by various departments
within the County of San Diego s Land Useand Environment Group. Coordination of biological species tracking between departmentsensures
a complete dataset, meeting a specific data standard, and will provide the bestavailable information to environmental scientists,
advocacy groups, all County departments,and various agencies. Other sections: Spatial_Reference_Information:

purpose:
This catalog of species observations have been recorded by professional biologistsfrom the County of San Diego as well as
from various other agencies and private firms.These data serve many functions: they serve as a baseline catalog of species
records in theadopted South County MSCP and the draft North and East County preserve systems(including invasive species) in
the incorporated and unincorporated areas of San DiegoCounty, they are used to direct the location of future permanent plot
surveys and for uses invarious monitoring projects, they are used in the testing and validation of predictive speciesniche
models and to comply with CEQA regulations, and they are used to identify and monitorinvasive species. It is important to
note these observations are an indication of confirmedspecies presence at the time of the survey but offer no indication of
species absence. Thetypes of surveys performed to collect these data were variable, ranging from highly organizedand standardized
surveys to random observations based on chance. SanBIOS wasconstructed to be interchangeable with the State of Californias
Biological Information andObservation System (BIOS) database (http://bios.dfg.ca.gov/).
