  Description:
    Abstract: This layer was created to define the regional boundaries used in the Wildlife Diversity Project (WDP) and the Wildlife Action Plan (WAP) for the California Department of Fish and Game (DFG).  This layer is not meant to represent ecoregions or jurisdictional boundaries within California.  This layer was delineated using bioregion boundaries adopted by the California Biodiversity Council, watershed boundaries, and other natural areas as guides.
    Purpose: This layer was created to define the regional boundaries used in the Wildlife Diversity Project (WDP) and Wildlife Action Plan (WAP) for the California Department of Fish and Game.

    Process_Step:
      Process_Description: Basic dataset review, metadata edits, contact names updated, and some attribute fields that were believed to be unnecessary were deleted (dataset appears to have originated as an ArcInfo coverage).  Original dataset was developed by Roxie Anderson (no longer works for DFG).  Dataset has previously been stored with archive of other WDP / WAP files.
