Stemming the Tide examines the introduction of nonindigenous species through ballast water discharge. Ballast is any solid or liquid that is taken aboard ship to achieve more controlled and safer operation. This expert volume (1) Assesses current national and international approaches to the problem and makes recommendations for U.S. government agencies, the U.S. maritime industry, and the member states of the International Maritime Organization; (2) Appraises technologies for controlling the transfer of organisms-- biocides, filtration, heat treatment, and others --with a view toward developing the most promising methods for shipboard demonstration; and, (3) Evaluates methods for monitoring the effectiveness of ballast water management in removing unwanted organisms. The book addresses the constraints inherent in ballast water management, notably shipboard ballast treatment and monitoring. Also, the committee outlines efforts to set an acceptable level of risk for species introduction using the techniques of risk analysis. Stemming the Tide will be important to all stakeholders in the issue of unwanted species introduction through ballast discharge: policymakers, port authorities, shippers, ship operators, suppliers to the maritime industry, marine biologists, marine engineers, and environmentalists. 588 0 Print version record. 590 eBooks on EBSCOhost|bEBSCO eBook Subscription Academic Collection - North America 650 0 Animal introduction.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ subjects/sh85005204 650 0 Nonindigenous aquatic pests|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/subjects/sh98005366|xControl.|0https:// id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh99004902 650 0 Discharge of ballast water|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities /subjects/sh93003423|xManagement.|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/subjects/sh2002007911 650 7 Animal introduction.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/ 809282 650 7 Nonindigenous aquatic pests|xControl.|2fast|0https:// id.worldcat.org/fast/1038762 650 7 Nonindigenous aquatic pests.|2fast|0https:// id.worldcat.org/fast/1038761 650 7 Discharge of ballast water|xManagement.|2fast|0https:// id.worldcat.org/fast/894833 650 7 Discharge of ballast water.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org /fast/894830 655 4 Electronic books. 710 2 National Research Council (U.S.).|bCommittee on Ships' Ballast Operations.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/ n96071552 776 08 |iPrint version:|tStemming the tide.|dWashington, D.C. : National Academy Press, 1996|z0309055377|w(DLC) 96031920 |w(OCoLC)35183984 856 40 |uhttps://rider.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http:// search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&scope=site& db=nlebk&AN=813|zOnline eBook.
