Aquatic Invasive Species (AIS)
Decontamination
Proper decontamination after working in or around a waterbody is critical to preventing the spread of AIS. The number of AIS present in California is a moving target, which suggests that decontamination techniques will continually be revised and improved. Additional decontamination techniques and SOPs may be found within HACCP plans and in other Websites.

California Center for Amphibian Disease Control (includes hygiene protocols)
CCADC Objectives: To collate and maintain a central GIS database of amphibian disease occurrences in California; identify potential geographic hot spots of disease occurrences to assist in management and conservation efforts and form an early warning system; provide standardized sampling, collection and testing methods for amphibian disease; and provide wildlife and wetland professionals with knowledge before they begin field work, as to whether or not a disease has been previously reported at the sites of interest.
