Managing Hull-Borne Invasive Species and Coastal Water Quality for California and Baja California Boats Kept in Saltwater

Managing Hull-Borne Invasive Species and Coastal Water Quality for California and Baja California Boats Kept in Saltwater incorporates information from scientific literature, legal reviews, research on anti-fouling strategies, and comments by clientele and colleagues of the Extension program.

This report will focus on invasive species transported on hulls of boats kept in saltwater. Although the focus is on California and Baja California, information from other areas has been included to provide context.

The report is intended to assist the following groups in cooperating to prevent and control introductions of aquatic invasive species (AIS) on hulls of boats, while protecting
coastal water quality:

• boat owners;
• boat maintenance, repair and coating businesses;
• port, harbor, marina and yacht club managers;
• scientists;
• policy makers
• government agencies
• environmental organizations.
