Why an NBII?• Over a billion dollars a year invested in
biological data collection and management
• Limited coordination, integration, and common standards
• Limited access to existing data, information, and analysis tools

Provide an information system to
support the conservation and
restoration of ecological and biological
resources
Goal of NBII

US OBIS Accomplishments in First Year
• $10K Funding from USGS/NBII
• Created US OBIS Web Site
• Developed Short and Long Term Plans
• Developed Access to
– Gulf of Maine Data
– Bishop Museum Data
![Page 10: Overview of the USGS Aquatic Informatics Program & Progress on US OBIS Regional Node](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022070412/568148f8550346895db61bd0/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Short Term Priorities for the US Node
• $30K Funding from USGS/NBII
• Enhance the existing Marine Node Web Site and access point to US RON
• Develop fact sheet defining the US RON (mission, goals, users, tools, products etc)
• Incorporate the following data into US OBIS– CReefs (underway)– MMS (already offered)– ExxonMobile (already offered)– NOAA OE (already offered)– EPA EMAP (currently on OBIS)
• Work with IOOS/DMAC to draft customer driven products
• Continue outreach efforts to raise funding

How do we envision FAR will be used?
1.) Have North American sturgeon populations
been affected by beluga sturgeon collapse?
2.) What is the state of fish habitat in the United
States and where should I focus management
and research efforts?
3.) How has the status of Eastern Brook Trout
changed in the last 50 years and why?

How do we envision FAR will be used?
4.) Where are the most important aquatic
biodiversity spots in the Gulf of Mexico?
5.) I need to calculate an Index of Biotic Integrity
for my waters, how have others done this and are
their tools available to help me?
6.) Is there a standard way to report fisheries
monitoring information so it can be used beyond
my initial goal?

National Fish Habitat
InitiativeAction Plan
![Page 23: Overview of the USGS Aquatic Informatics Program & Progress on US OBIS Regional Node](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022070412/568148f8550346895db61bd0/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
• Aquatic habitat is rapidly being lost or destroyed, displacing aquatic species and causing their decline worldwide.
• Declining quality and quantity of habitats means fewer recreational fishing and boating opportunities.
Why do we need a National Fish Habitat Initiative (NFHI)?
![Page 24: Overview of the USGS Aquatic Informatics Program & Progress on US OBIS Regional Node](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022070412/568148f8550346895db61bd0/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
3. Measure and communicate.
Establish national goals for habitat conservation and issue a regular national report: Status of Fish Habitats.
Enhance data sharing and transfer of information.
Develop baselines, indicators, measures of success and more cost-effective strategies.

What do we need from the USNC
• Advocacy for the US RON
• Prioritization of Data for Incorporation
• Feedback on Strategy
• Identification of User Based Products
• Funding Opportunities
