      <abstract>This data is associated with the following layers: Chronic Wasting Disease Testing Sites - CDFW [ds3154] (https://apps.wildlife.ca.gov/bios6/?al=3154), Participating Meat Processors and Taxidermists - CDFW [ds3155] (https://apps.wildlife.ca.gov/bios6/?al=3155), and Carcass Disposal Sites - CDFW [ds3156] (https://apps.wildlife.ca.gov/bios6/?al=3156). These layers include CWD Testing Sites, Participating Meat Processors and Taxidermists (MP&amp;amp;T), Carcass Disposal Sites, and comprehensive data on CWD surveillance spanning from 1999 to 2023. This compilation of layers provides a comprehensive view of CWD-related activities, facilitating informed decision-making and strategic planning for wildlife management and disease prevention efforts. To date, there has not yet been any cases of CWD detected in California and surveillance data will be updated regularly. For the latest information, please visit https://wildlife.ca.gov/CWD.</abstract>
      <purpose>This dataset highlights the geographic distribution of deer harvested and sampled for CWD across various hunt zones. By mapping the locations of CWD surveillance activities, this layer offers insights into the prevalence and distribution of CWD within specific regions, aiding in targeted monitoring and management strategies.</purpose>
