The two largest associations representing shipowners and operators in the Great Lakes in Canada and the U.S. have issued a set of principles to align the regulation of ballast water. The Canadian Shipowners Association and the Cleveland-based Lake Carriers Association developed five principles for ...
Ballast water transport, particularly in unregulated domestic shipping, has been implicated in the appearance of some of these species and phycotoxins in Canadian waters, with particular concern for the Arctic region (Smayda, 2007; Klein et al., 2010; Laget, 2017). HA species or phycotoxins ...
ballast-water legislation on Canadian Great Lakes vessels. The legislation will exceed current International Maritime Organization standards but should allow for a phase-in for foreign shipowners according to Terry Johnson of the U.S. Saint Lawrence Seaway Development Corp. He assured that the ...
Ballast water released from large ships is a vector for the introduction of aquatic invasive alien species.' The establishment of these foreign plants, animals, and organisms has significant economic and ecological impacts.2 Due to high ship traffic on the St. Lawrence Seaway and the Great Lakes...
1, 2014, deadline for implementing best available technology for ballast water management systems (Natural Resources Defense Council v. EPA, 2d Cir., 14-39, 13-1745, docketed 1/16/14). The association said the deadline was not realistic, a point the EPA has conceded. The agency said it...
Additionally, a significant positive richness鈥搕otal abundance relationship for nonindigenous species for hull fouling but not for ballast water assemblages suggests that the likelihood of a high-risk (i.e., species-rich and high abundance) introduction event is greater for the former than the ...
