Question:
How can I, as a private citizen, access Biological Resources Discipline (BRD) data?
Answer:
It's easy. BRD information is public information and in almost all cases, is available by request. (Limited exceptions exist that protect the interests of property owners and to protect sensitive species.) In addition, information about a wide range of geographical areas and species are available to you through BRD, which can help you locate and gain access to information in Federal, State, and private institutions. Much of this information is also available through the Internet at http://www.nbii.gov/.
