Information Portal (InPort)

The FIS InPort Metadata Catalog gives NOAA Fisheries and its state and regional partners the capability to share essential information about fisheries-dependent data. As envisioned in the NOAA and NOAA Fisheries 2003-2008 strategic plans, by 2008, NOAA Fisheries' six Regions will be expected to manage the nation's marine resources under an ecosystems-based regimen very different from what has been used in the past. By storing information about all NMFS data holdings, InPort will play a critical supporting role in fisheries management.
