Environmental Review and Permitting

California’s fish and wildlife depend upon the quality and quantity of habitat including lands, waters and other environmental factors necessary for survival.

CDFW’s Environmental Review and Permitting Programs implement sections of the California Fish and Game Code, California Code of Regulations and other statutes and regulations. These Programs help fulfill CDFW’s mission to manage California’s diverse fish, wildlife and plant resources, and the habitats upon which they depend, for their ecological values and for their use and enjoyment by the public.
