California Information Node
The California Information Node provides access to data and information
about California's environment. You may browse the topics at right
to discover resources for information, or look for data to download.
In addition to offering a website gateway to environmental information, CAIN is coordinating among data owners and informatics researchers to develop and test new tools to make important biodiversity data easier to locate and use.
