The Habitat Conservation Assistance Network (HabitatCAN) helps private landowners manage candidate, threatened, and endangered species habitat on their land. The two species featured are the Lesser Prairie Chicken and the Sage-grouse.

PISCO is a long-term program led by scientists from four core campuses: Oregon State University; Stanford University’s Hopkins Marine Station; University of California, Santa Cruz; and University of California, Santa Barbara. PISCO is designed to understand the California Current Large Marine Ecosystem through the collection and sharing of biological, chemical, and physical data about ocean ecosystems in the nearshore portions of the California Current Large Marine Ecosystem. Partnerships with Oregon State University, Data Observation Network for Earth (DataONE), and the Pacific Rocky Intertidal Monitoring program at UC Santa Cruz help to provide access platforms to the PISCO data.

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) West Coast Marine Mammal Stranding Network was established in the early 1980s under the Marine Mammal Protection Act (MMPA). Members of the network respond to marine mammal stranding events along the Washington, Oregon, and California coasts and are part of a nationwide network.

The Conservation Efforts Database (CED) is an online tool to efficiently capture the conservation plans and actions being implemented throughout the sagebrush ecosystem for greater sage-grouse (Centrocercus urophasianus) and other species that rely on sagebrush habitats. The CED is capable of (1) allowing multiple-users to enter data from different locations, (2) uploading and storing documents, (3) linking conservation actions to one or more threats (one-to-many relationships), (4) reporting functions that would allow summaries of the conservation actions at multiple scales (e.g., management zones, populations, or priority areas for conservation), and (5) accounting for actions at multiple scales from small easements to statewide planning efforts. Developed by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, U.S. Geological Survey, and Landscape Conservation Cooperative Network.

The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) Geospatial Business Platform Hub is a website which serves as a centralized location to explore, view, and download BLM's geospatial data. Hub can be used for keyword or geographic search of BLM data, to browse BLM geospatial resources by location or subject category, or simply to explore BLM’s featured content. BLM locations share information with the public and provide narratives about their content and programs. Data is available at the national and state levels, as well as through BLM’s landscape initiatives.
