Species Observation, Locally Tracked Coordinate system: 4269 - "NAD83" Abstract: This data set is a polygon coverage that can be used to identify local observations of aquatic and terrestrial invasive species collected through the Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources/Ontario Federation of Anglers & Hunters Invading Species Awareness Program. Observations of provincially tracked species are not captured in this class for sensitivity/security reasons. Supplementary tables can be used and are available for download from the additional documentation section. This layer is part of what was known as the OMNR Non-Fundamental Dataset.

  Natural Resources Values Information System (NRVIS): A primary source for coincident base features (shorelines, streams, roads, cadastral boundaries, etc) as loaded into the Natural Resources Values Information System at the OMNR District level. NRVIS is MNR's system for managing it's corporate geographic databases. NRVIS standardizes the collection and maintenance of information (which allows for more reliable comparisons and analysis). NRVIS has been designed so it can be extended in terms of new data (geographic unit) types and additional functionality. NRVIS has been designed to allow for continuous updating, rather than 'spring house cleaning.'
