Data Portal

What is the "Data Portal"?

The California Department of Fish and Game’s Data Portal provides a single point of entry to data sources which serve the needs of the Resources Management and Policy Division. These data are made available for reporting, querying and (in some cases) editing via a series of dynamic web applications developed by the Natural Resources Management (NRM) team. Fish and Game employees, affiliated cooperators and the public have ready access from any computer with an internet connection. Special client applications or direct connection to the Fish and Game wide area network are not required.

The NRM applications on the Data Portal employ similar user-friendly interfaces. Users will find that if they are familiar with one application in the portal, they are familiar with many elements of the other applications. In addition to live data from DFG databases, users may retrieve data from a reporting data warehouse optimized for searching, browsing and intuitive data extraction. Users can also easily generate and print reports or query, browse, and download data which support the Department’s conservation mission.
