The Fisheries and Aquatic Resources (FAR) Node of the National Biological Information Infrastructure brings together people and information to promote fisheries conservation. The FAR Node serves as an integrated, comprehensive, web-based resource that aids restoration and conservation efforts. To accomplish this, the FAR node has been developed with four goals: 1. Provide access to information via species and geographic approaches. 2. Develop a clearinghouse of FAR-related information. 3. Promote the development of standards for FAR-related data. 4. Partner with existing programs to enhance fisheries applications.
