Aims & Scope

California Fish and Wildlife Journal (CFWJ) welcomes submissions on the biology, ecology, and/or management of fish, wildlife, and plants in California and surrounding areas as well as manuscripts focused on new research tools and techniques relevant to conservation and management of the state's fish and wildlife resources. California is the most biodiverse state in the nation, and CFWJ prides itself in contributing to the conservation and management of the state's natural resources. Submissions are open to all researchers. No affiliation with CDFW is required. The Science Institute houses the Journal and supports its online presence and expansion of its state-wide reach and impacts. It also encourages the peer-reviewed journal to serve as a primary outlet for the CDFW science community to share their work. All information published in CFWJ is considered public domain.
