Natural Resources Wales (NRW) Ecological Data held in WISKI (KiEco)
Some of Natural Resources Wales (NRW) core ecology datasets are held in the WISKI Kisters Ecology (KiEco). KiEco provides a central repository for some of NRW's ecological monitoring data. The database holdings include data on fish species, River Habitat Surveys, invasive species, marine benthic species and habitat monitoring, and freshwater ecology. KiEco was developed in NRW to take over the required functions of the legacy Environment Agency Wales (EAW) databases, such as Biosys National Fish Population Database (NFPD) and Ecosys.

Much of the data collection for KiEco follows prescribed methodologies. Some of the data is also recorded as ad hoc sightings and additional information collected during monitoring activities. Within KiEco the standard core elements include information on sampling the biological sampling, including geographical hierarchies and observation values, taxonomic tree information and associated metadata.
