About | California Air Resources Board
CARB is the lead agency for climate change programs and oversees all air pollution control efforts in California to attain and maintain health-based air quality standards.Organization of the BoardBoard MembersThe California Air Resources Board consists of 16 members. 12 are appointed by the Governor and confirmed by the state Senate. The 12 members include six who serve on local air districts, four experts in fields that shape air quality rules, two public members and one, the Chair, who serves as the only full-time member. The Governor can choose any of the board members to serve as the Chair.The other four include two who represent environmental justice communities (one appointed by the Senate and the other by the Assembly) and two nonvoting members appointed for Legislative oversight, one each from the Senate and Assembly.In July 2018, the Board established staggered six-year terms for voting members pursuant to AB 197.More InformationBoard StaffThe work of the Board is supported by a diverse professional staff of scientists, engineers, economists, lawyers and policy makers who collectively make up one of the world’s most respected environmental organizations.Partners for Clean AirThe Board is part of a coordinated three-tiered approach to cleaning up air pollution:The United States Environmental Protection Agency sets nationwide air quality and emissions standards and oversees state efforts and enforcement.The California Air Resources Board focuses on California’s unique air quality challenges by setting the state’s own stricter emissions standards for a range of statewide pollution sources including vehicles, fuels and consumer products.Thirty-five local air pollution control districts regulate emissions from businesses and stationary facilities, ranging from oil refineries to auto body shops and dry cleaners.Responsibilities & Work of CARBReducing air pollution and protecting public health guide CARB’s actions.

Ocean-Going Vessels At Berth Regulation

SACRAMENTO – The California Air Resources Board (CARB) today received authorization from the U.S. EPA under the Clean Air Act for its 2020 At-Berth Regulation, which further reduces pollution from ocean-going vessels while docked at California’s busiest ports.  The new regulation was passed by the CARB Board in 2020 and adds new vessel categories – auto carriers and tankers – as well as additional ports and marine terminals. Under the new regulation, vessels are required to control pollution when they run auxiliary engines or auxiliary boilers (for most tanker vessels) while docked. The two vessel categories added to the new regulation produce 56% of all fine particulate pollution (PM 2.5) from ocean-going vessels at berth in California ports, which when inhaled can embed in people’s lungs and bloodstreams, causing health impacts such as premature mortality, increased hospitalizations for heart and lung illness and asthma attacks.
CALTIP - Californians Turn in Poachers and Polluters

CALTIP rewards come entirely from donations, no state funds are used. The CALTIP Rewards Committee, not CDFW, receives and administers these funds. Money not used for the payment of rewards goes toward furthering CALTIP's educational goals.

Poaching 
Poaching is the illegal take of fish and wildlife. It can involve hunting or fishing out of season, the taking of more fish or game animals than the law allows, or illegal commercialization of our wildlife. It can also include trespassing, hunting or fishing in closed areas such as Marine Life Protection Areas or Game Reserves. All species of wildlife in California are affected; some of the most commonly poached include deer, bear, antelope, elk, abalone, sturgeon, salmon, crab and lobster. Poachers devastate the state’s natural resources by breaking laws designed to assure proper wildlife management and species survival, its full impact on California’s ecology is impossible to gauge. Equally devastating crimes include pollution and habitat destruction and the insidious practice of transporting and introducing non-native, undesirable fish (like northern pike and white bass) into California's lakes and rivers.

State Wildlife officers do all they can to combat poaching. But there are only a few hundred wildlife officers spread throughout California. To successfully fight poaching they must have help from all Californians.

Pollution
As California’s population swells, the ill effects of pollution and habitat destruction are increasingly detrimental to our natural resources. Fish and Wildlife considers incidents of agricultural pollution, dumping of household waste, industrial spills and illegal marijuana gardens to be serious crimes, as they devastate native species and the habitat they need to survive. To combat polluting, concerned citizens who become aware of such acts can become involved and report their observations.

Environmental Justice Program | CalEPA
After holding two public workshops and considering all comments submitted on the Preliminary Designation, which was released in October 2021, CalEPA formally designates four categories of geographic areas as disadvantaged: 

Census tracts receiving the highest 25 percent of overall scores in CalEnviroScreen 4.0
Census tracts lacking overall scores in CalEnviroScreen 4.0 due to data gaps, but receiving the highest 5 percent of CalEnviroScreen 4.0 cumulative pollution burden scores 
Census tracts identified in the 2017 DAC designation, regardless of their scores in CalEnviroScreen 4.0
Lands under the control of federally recognized Tribes

For detailed explanation of each of the categories, please read the document:
English: Final Designation of Disadvantaged Communities Pursuant to Senate Bill 535 May 2022PDF download.
Español: Designación Final de Comunidades Desfavorecidas de Acuerdo con La Ley del Senado 535

Pollution Burden Mapping – CalEnviroScreen Version 4.0 
CalEnviroScreen is the state’s environmental health screening tool that can has been used to help identify and address California communities that are disproportionately burdened by multiple sources of pollution. Developed by CalEPA’s Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment (OEHHA), it is an important tool in meeting CalEPA’s commitment to environmental justice for all. This latest version was released on October 13, 2021. You can read more about it in the press release, visit OEHHA’s CalEnviroScreen webpage or scroll down to explore the maps.
En espanol: Puede leer más sobre esto en el comunicado de prensa, visite la página web de OEHHA CalEnviroScreen, o explorar los resultados de CalEnviroScreen por tramo censal individual o por indicador.
In this update:  

All indicators contain the most recent available data.
There are improvements in the way some indicators are calculated to better reflect environmental conditions or population vulnerability to pollution.
One new indicator, Children’s Lead Risk from Housing, accounts for possible lead exposure from paint and other sources in or around the home.

Dr. James R. Drummond is a leader in building Canadian satellite experiments, such as MOPITT (Measurements of Pollution in the Troposphere), which is providing a picture of pollution over the entire globe. He also worked on the Canadian SciSat mission looking at ozone levels in the Canadian Arctic, and the PEARL (Polar Environment Atmospheric Research Laboratory) in Canada’s Far North.
An international leader in space instrument design, testing and deployment, Drummond is coming up with more effective and more comprehensive ways of monitoring the health of the atmosphere. By developing new, specialized instruments, Drummond and his colleagues are able to take better measurements of the gases and particles in the atmosphere and thus gain a deeper understanding of what is happening to the air. Their research is taking us one step closer to a time when we will have a continuous real-time picture of the atmosphere.
