To provide public access to environmental geospatial datasets and mapping resources that support environmental management, conservation, natural resource planning, environmental monitoring, land management, and scientific research across Mississippi.
The Environmental Collection is part of the Mississippi Geospatial Data Catalog, Mississippi's official statewide geospatial data portal maintained through the Mississippi GIS program and MARIS. The catalog serves as a centralized repository for spatial datasets, web services, maps, and geographic information used by government agencies, researchers, planners, and the public. The Environmental tag groups datasets associated with environmental resources and environmental management activities.
The collection contains environmental geospatial datasets and mapping resources related to natural resources, environmental features, conservation, land and water resources, environmental monitoring, environmental planning, and ecosystem management.
Datasets are developed and maintained by Mississippi state agencies and partner organizations through GIS mapping programs, environmental surveys, remote sensing, field observations, monitoring programs, resource inventories, and administrative data collection. The information is standardized and published through the Mississippi Geospatial Data Catalog, allowing users to search, visualize, and download environmental data in multiple GIS-compatible formats. Methodologies vary according to the source dataset and contributing agency
