Vessels that are subject to California’s Marine Invasive Species Act (Cal. Pub. Resources Code section 71200 et seq.) must retain a separate log of ballast water activities on board the vessel (Cal. Pub. Resources Code section 71205(d)).
The ballast water log must:
• Outline the vessel’s ballast water management activities for each tank
• Be available for inspection and review by Commission staff
• Be retained for two years
Failure to comply with the ballast water log requirements may result in civil or criminal penalties.
Please visit the California State Lands Commission’s website (https://www.slc.ca.gov/misp/) for more information about California’s ballast water and biofouling requirements.
