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.
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. SanBIOS was constructed to be interchangeable with the State of California's Biological Information and Observation System (BIOS) database (http://bios.dfg.ca.gov/).
