Conservation geoportal
"The Conservation Geoportal is a collaborative effort by and for the conservation community to facilitate the discovery and publishing of geographic information systems (GIS) data and maps, to support conservation decisionmaking and education. It is primarily a data catalog, intended to provide a comprehensive listing of GIS data sets and map services relevant to biodiversity conservation. The Conservation Geoportal does not actually store maps and data, but rather the descriptions and links to those resources, known as 'metadata.'"

Natural resources information portal Access Washington
"The goal of this site is to provide a single place to discover, learn about, and access available salmon and watershed data for Washington State ... This portal includes a searchable catalog with simple links to datasets and their associated metadata ("data about the data"). If a dataset is not available for download or on-line viewing, contact information is provided. This catalog currently includes spatial datasets, tabular datasets, reports and studies ... This site has been designed for a wide range of users who may be interested in salmon and watershed data including scientists, watershed planners/managers, consultants, and the general public."

Puget Sound River history project
The Puget Sound River History Project studies the historical landscape of Puget Sound's lowland rivers and estuaries as a dynamically linked geophysical, ecological, and human system. The historical emphasis is on conditions at the time of earliest Euro-American settlement in the mid-19th century, but also includes the landscape's post-glacial, Holocene (10,000 yrs BP) evolution and the last century and a half of change
SAGEMAP
"The SAGEMAP project, conducted by the Snake River Field Station (SRFS) of the USGS Forest and Rangeland Ecosystem Science Center , is identifying and collecting spatial data layers needed for research and management of sage grouse and shrubsteppe systems. The datasets, which can be queried, viewed, and downloaded from our FTP site, are important for our understanding and management of shrubsteppe lands and associated wildlife. The data can be used to identify factors causing the declines of wildlife and shrubsteppe habitats, or in the decision process for listing of Greater Sage-grouse (Centrocercus urophasianus) as a Threatened or Endangered species, and to help guide restoration of habitats in the Great Basin."
Salmon critical habitat GIS data
The GIS data are based on information used by NOAA National Marine Fisheries Service to identify areas designated as critical habitat under the U.S. Endangered Species Act for 12 evolutionarily significant units (ESUs) of Pacific salmon and steelhead.
