Description
The California Department of Fish and Wildlife’s Office of Spill Prevention and Response (OSPR) provides an application for appointment to a Harbor Safety Committee. This is an opportunity to participate in harbor safety planning, not a grant or source of project funding.
The committees plan for the safe navigation and operation of tank ships, tank barges, and other vessels within California’s five major harbor areas: Humboldt Bay; San Francisco, San Pablo, and Suisun Bays; Port Hueneme; Los Angeles and Long Beach; and San Diego. Applicants select a regional committee, a membership category, and whether they seek a member or alternate-member position.
