The California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW) is issuing this Request for Information (RFI) to solicit industry input from qualified vendors on the development of a publicly accessible mobile application for Recreational Fishing Regulations (RFR).

CDFW is seeking information on innovative approaches and industry best practices for designing and implementing an interactive, map-based mobile application that enables users to easily access applicable recreational marine and inland fishing regulations based on their geographic location. The application is expected to provide a geospatially driven user experience, support offline functionality, and present regulatory information in a clear, intuitive format. By improving access to location-specific fishing regulations, the application will enhance public understanding, promote regulatory compliance, and support responsible recreational fishing throughout California.
