Changes to the Annual Vessel Reporting Form submission requirements

December 15 Webinar

On December 15th, the MISP presented a webinar focused on the recently approved amendment to California’s biofouling regulations. These recent amendments require the Marine Invasive Species Program Annual Vessel Reporting Form (AVRF) to be submitted via the Commission’s web-based user interface, MISP.IO beginning on January 1, 2021. During the webinar, Commission staff demonstrated how to complete and submit an AVRF through MISP.IO.

The Commission recently amended the Marine Invasive Species Program Annual Vessel Reporting Form (AVRF) submission requirements. Effective January 1, 2021, the AVRF will be required to be submitted through the web-based platform, MISP.IO, at least 24 hours prior to a vessel’s first arrival at a California port during each calendar year.
