OSPR Marine Invasive Species Program

The Marine Invasive Species Program (MISP) within CDFW's Office of Spill Prevention and Response (OSPR) coordinates with the California State Lands Commission (CSLC) to monitor the introduction and spread of Non-Indigenous Species (NIS) in California.

**UPDATE 04/2025** In response to the detection of golden mussel (Limnoperna fortunei) in the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta, the state of California has developed a comprehensive Golden Mussel Response Framework (PDF).
