Ballast Legislation Passes House as Part of Coast Guard Bill
The U.S. House of Representatives made a huge step in protecting our waters from aquatic invaders today by passing legislation that ensures no living species will be discharged from ballast water tanks of ocean-going vessels. The legislation is Title V of the Coast Guard Authorization Act of 2008 (H.R. 2830) and requires installation of technology meeting current International Maritime Organization ballast discharge standards by as early as next year. Ships would then be required to begin installing treatment equipment in 2012 to meet a more rigorous standard that is one hundred times more stringent than the international standard. (4/24/08)
