Webinar on California Biofouling Management Regulations: First Year Update (October 2018)

The Marine Invasive Species Program presented a webinar in October 2018 to provide an update on the implementation of California’s biofouling management regulations. The webinar specifically focuses on improving clarity for specific requirements that have been commonly deficient during inspections during the first year of implementation.

Webinar on California Biofouling Management Regulations (September 2017)

The Marine Invasive Species Program presented a webinar in September 2017 to provide clarity and guidance about California’s new biofouling management regulations to minimize the transfer into state waters of nonindigenous species from vessels arriving at California ports.
