1. The Report of Specimens Collected or Salvaged (report) must be filled out completely. See “Example” tab for sample data.  Use the following abbreviations to describe the disposition of the specimen: C=TAKE INTO CAPTIVITY, R=RELEASED, S=SACRIFICED, I=INCIDENTAL DEATH & SL=SALVAGED.  All specimens collected must be identified individually to specify the dates of collection. No future renewal will be authorized without submission of complete collection records.
2.  You must list the county, the coordinate position, and the name of the Marine Protected Area (MPA), if applicable, for each specimen.  Coordinates may be specified in either Universal Transverse Mercator (UTM) or geodetic (aka geographic, aka lat/long) coordinates.  For UTM, be sure to specify the zone (10 or 11).  For both, be sure to specify the GPS datum and method of capture.  The horizontal datum is usually printed at the bottom of paper maps, and GPS units typically use the WGS84  datum by default.  Some tables of abbreviations and spellings are provided for reference.  The Map Scaling provides indication of measurement error for the coordinates.  When expressing geodetic coordinates, you may use either sexagesimal notation (degrees minutes and [decimal] seconds) or decimal notation.  The preferred delimiter for sexagesimal notation is the colon (eg. 121:42:23.10W 33:02:54.30N).  Don't forget to either append the cardinal direction (W or N for California) or prepend a minus sign for the longitude, whether using decimal or sexagesimal notation.
3. You must carry the report with your Scientific Collecting Permit (SCP) and any amendments while collecting. The report must be filled out immediately upon completion of each collecting trip. The disposition portion of the report may be filled out when final disposition of animals is known.
4.  Section 650(i), Title 14, of the CCR requires that  permittees submit a Report of Specimens Collected or Salvaged within 30 days of the expiration of the permit or upon submitting an application to renew a SCP.  Upon completion of this electronic report, print a copy and attach it to your SCP renewal application, or you may send an electronic copy to the License and Revenue Branch at [EMAIL].
5. Each individual to whom a SCP is issued must provide their own Report of Specimens Collected or Salvaged.  If you are not renewing your SCP, you are still required to submit a final report within 30 days of the expiration of your SCP.  If you did not collect any specimens or collected the same individuals as another permittee, you still need to submit a report. Enter a single line indicating that no specimens were collected or indicate the permittee’s name and SCP number for the specimens already reported. DO NOT DUPLICATE DATA.  Submit the final report to the Department of Fish and Game, License and Revenue Branch, 1740 N. Market Blvd.,  Sacramento, CA 95834.
6. The Department also requires that you record your field observations of Threatened, Endangered, or Special Concern species for addition to the California Natural Diversity Data Base.  Record your observations following the instructions and using the California Native Species Field Survey Form on our website at www.dfg.ca.gov/biogeodata/cnddb/submitting_data_to_cnddb.asp.
WGS84 is the datum used by the NAVSTAR Global Positioning System and by most GPS receivers.  For many uses, coordinates taken in WGS84 can be used interchangeably with coordinates taken in NAD83.  However, NAD27 coordinates, used on many older USGS topographic maps (see map marginalia), are not interchangeable with NAD83 or WGS84, though they may be transformed.
