Spiny Lobster Report Cards Are Due

You are required by regulation to return your report card or submit a report online by April 30, 2024 (CCR, Title 14, Section 1.74). Report card holders who do not return their Spiny Lobster Report Card or report their harvest online by April 30 will be assessed a $21.60 non-reporting fee when they purchase a spiny lobster report card for the following season. If multiple spiny lobster report cards were purchased, please report all cards, including lost cards, to avoid the non-reporting fee.

Submit your report by April 30 to avoid the $21.60 non-reporting fee.

You can submit a report online or mail your report card to CDFW at:

CDFW – Lobster Report Card
3883 Ruffin Rd.
San Diego, CA 92123
