Wildlife Mortality Reporting

CDFW collects and tracks fish and wildlife mortality reports to improve our ability to monitor disease outbreaks, detect emerging health threats, and help us better understand these events for more effective prevention and control. If you notice dead fish or wildlife, DO NOT TOUCH OR HANDLE THEM. Simply let us know by providing the following information in the Wildlife Mortality Report.

• Report sick or dead bats using the White-nose Syndrome Reporting Form
• Report wildlife mortality due to SF Bay Harmful Algae Bloom 2023 (iNaturalist)
• Instructions for completing the Wildlife Mortality Report (below)
