Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point (HACCP) - AIS-HACCP is a self-inspection system for reducing the risk of spreading aquatic invasive species through aquaculture, hatchery, scientific, natural resource, and baitfish harvesting activities. This adaptable way to protect waterways from unwanted species was derived from HACCP methods required for the seafood industry and builds on Sea Grant’s success in assisting industry compliance. HACCP planning support includes instructions, forms and a planning wizard that will help reduce the risks of spreading hitchhiking species.
This plan proposes management actions for addressing aquatic invasive species (AIS) threats to the State of California. It focuses on the non-native algae, crabs, clams, fish, plants and other species that continue to invade California’s creeks, wetlands, rivers, bays and coastal waters.
State surveys of California's coastal waters have identified at least 312 species of aquatic invaders. These invaders cause major impacts: disrupting agriculture, shipping, water delivery, recreational and commercial fishing; undermining levees, docks and environmental restoration activities; impeding navigation and enjoyment of the state's waterways; and damaging native habitats and the species that depend on them. As the ease of transporting organisms across the Americas and around the globe has increased, so has the rate of AIS introductions.
This course manual was adapted from “Aquatic Nuisance Species—Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point (ANS—HACCP) Training Curriculum,” which was developed by the National Sea Grant College Program (Michigan and Minnesota) for training and education, especially for wild baitfish harvesters and fish farmers. Further, the Sea Grant proceedings were adapted from the HACCP training and education curriculum developed by the National Seafood HACCP Alliance.
