Welcome to the DFO GeoPortal

The Department of Fisheries and Oceans (DFO), in partnership with other marine organizations and GeoConnections, is leading the establishment of a marine geospatial data infrastructure (MGDI) for Canada. The DFO GeoPortal Project, initiated by the DFO Science sector, is providing key services forming the DFO open geospatial infrastructure, which is a key component of the evolving MDGI.

The DFO GeoPortal comprises numerous tools and services to address the requirements of a broad audience, both internal and external to DFO. Tools available on this site provide pre-defined dynamic views of DFO which are made up of DFO data combined with data from other government and private organizations. These tools get their data from numerous web map servers, therefore all data seen in the views on this site can also be accessed directly by applications that can connect to web map servers compliant with the Open GIS Consortium (OGC) specifications. For applications that wish to connect to the public DFO GeoPortal web map server, it can be accessed at http://public.geoportal-geoportail.gc.ca/wms/cascader.

To get additional information on the services in the left menu, please click on the Help function at the top of the page.
