The DFO GeoBrowser is part of the DFO GeoPortal Project which is being developed in cooperation with GeoConnections. Within DFO this project is both a catalyst and an enabler to make it easier to access and share geospatial information.

The DFO GeoBrowser provides a range of fixed views of marine data that are available for public use and which is growing as more data custodians make their information publicly available. In addition to giving access to more data, the new browser is easier to use and provides additional capabilities.
