Under this program, the Department of Fish and Wildlife is required to conduct studies to determine the level of invasion in the coastal and estuarine waters of the state, and monitor for new introductions to determine whether the program's ballast control measures are effective.

Data from the monitoring effort must be posted to the internet and updated on an annual basis.
