This dataset is a subset of the statewide data layer for the purposes of providing a general location of California's many species of rare and sensitive plants, animals, and natural communities. This is intended to display these species that are located inside the California Coastal Commission Zone Boundary.
The California Natural Diversity Database (CNDDB) is a product of the California Department of Fish and Wildlife's Biogeographic Data Branch (BDB). The CNDDB is both a manual and computerized library of the status and locations of California's rare species and natural community types. The CNDDB includes in its data all federally and state listed plants and animals, all species that are candidates for listing, all species of special concern, and those species that are considered "sensitive" by government agencies and the conservation community. The computerized information is available for a fee in hardcopy and digital forms. The CNDDB is a dynamic system with information continually being added and upgraded. The CNDDB contains over 82,000 locational records for over 2,500 elements (plant taxa, animal taxa, and natural communities). A location record is referred to as an Element Occurrence (EO), and is a site that contains an individual, population, nest site, den, or stand of a special status element. Populations, individuals, or colonies located within 1/4 mile of each other generally constitute a single occurrence, sometimes with multiple parts.

The CNDDB is offered on a yearly subscription basis; it includes monthly downloadable GIS data updates and access to an online version of RareFind. We offer the entire statewide dataset along with the GIS shapefile for use in many popular GIS software packages. All are available to subscribers on CD. The rate for Commercial, Non-profit and Government subscribers is $600 for the initial subscription year and $400 for subsequent renewal years. However, should the subscription lapse 6 months or more from the established anniversary month (i.e., month of initial subscription), subscription will commence again at the initial start-up rate of $600. Organizations can make as many copies of the data and application as necessary for their internal use but cannot make copies for distribution outside of their organization.

We work very hard to keep the CNDDB as current and up to date as possible given our capabilities and resources. However, we cannot and do not portray the CNDDB as an exhaustive and comprehensive inventory of rare species and natural communities. Field verification for the absence and presence of sensitive species will always be an important obligation of our customers. Likewise, your contribution of data to the CNDDB is equally important to the maintenance of the CNDDB.

Order form at http://www.dfg.ca.gov/biogeodata/cnddb/subscribe.asp The cost for the statewide dataset is $600. A subscription includes access to CNDDB data via web applications on the CDFW website. The GIS digital layer is also available to subscription customers and included on the CD ROM. Renewing customers pay $400 per year without a break in service. You are invoiced directly from our accounting department after the products have been sent to you. You do not need to pay up front; but invoices are due and payable upon presentation - no terms are available. Delinquent accounts will be denied additional services until the balance has been paid. NOTE: There is a 50% cancellation charge if you cancel your order after we have already processed your request and generated our products. There is a no-return policy on products already delivered.
Element Occurrences (EOs) representing positive sightings of rare, native species.
Internal feature number.
ESRI
Sequential unique whole numbers that are automatically generated.
Feature geometry.
ESRI
Coordinates defining the features.
Element Type describes the type of element and uses the following codes:
This dataset can display positive sightings of rare plants and animals, and terrestrial and aquatic communities. The symbolic display of the dataset is typically based on three data fields which designate the certainty (ACC_CLASS) that the scientist determines based on the the accuracy of the reported location of the occurrence, the type of occurrence (ELMTYPE), and how many occurrences share the same spatial feature (EOCOUNT). Additional fields describe the listing status, ranking, location, site description and source references, to name a few.
