Copper Antifouling Paint Sub-Workgroup

Back to Surface Water Protection Program

This page contains documents produced by the Copper Antifouling Paint Sub-Workgroup of the Non-Point Source Interagency Coordinating Committee’s Marinas and Recreational Boating Workgroup. DPR is the workgroup’s lead agency. The goal of the workgroup is to assess the degree and geographical distribution of copper pollution caused by copper antifouling paint pesticides in California’s aquatic environments.
