Steelhead salmon in the John Day Basin
This demonstration walks though using Advanced search techniques to research Steelhead salmon in the John Day Basin.
The Advance Search using the map draw bounding box feature demonstrates a search
for Steelhead salmon Redd counts.
Puget Sound Watershed and Conservation Projects
This demonstrations illustrates how one can find Puget Sound on the NED Portal and load in the NOAA Fisheries map service that has information on watershed and conservation projects in the Puget Sound.
Map Viewer
The Map Viewer tool allows you to interact with map services referenced in the metadata, and to browse through federal baseline datasets. The Map Viewer also allows you to save maps for later use, set transparency levels, query map information, and provides rich functionality to overlay map services.
What is Metadata?
Metadata is a summary description about a topic in a structured format, similar to a
Library Catalog.
You can use the metadata detail and the full metadata view to browse through information to locate what you are looking for. Map data can be viewed in the Map Viewer or with GIS software to display multiple data sources from the GIS Portal Toolkit along with data from local sources.
ESRI Community / Channel Editor
The ESRI Community / Channel Editor is designed for content developers of the NED Portal.
Content developers must create an account on the NED Portal to become Participating
Partners in order to use the Community/Channel Editor.
