A summary of those laws and regulations is provided in Chapter 5 of the CAISMP. Although this document only addresses management of aquatic invasive species, the majority of the laws that are involved address both terrestrial and aquatic species. When a law applies only to aquatic invasive species it is evident in the title of the law and its description in the CAISMP and its appendices. Appendix G of the CAISMP includes lists of aquatic invasive plants and animal species in California that are regulated by laws and regulations that are species-specific. It is a matrix that shows the status or ratings of these species under various state and federal statutes and policies. CDFW Invasive Species ProgramP.O.
