In the ocean, these invasions have long been mediated by the uptake and subsequent release of ballast water in ocean-going vessels. Increasing world trade and a concomitantly growing global shipping fleet composed of larger and faster vessels, combined with a series of prominent ballast-mediated invasions over the past two decades, have prompted active national and international interest in ballast water management. Assessing the relationship between propagule pressure and invasion risk in ballast water informs the regulation of ballast water by helping the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the U.S. Coast Guard (USCG) better understand the relationship between the concentration of living organisms in ballast water discharges and the probability of nonindigenous organisms successfully establishing populations in U.S. waters. The report evaluates the risk-release relationship in the context of differing environmental and ecological conditions, including estuarine and freshwater systems as well as the waters of the three-mile territorial sea. It recommends how various approaches can be used by regulatory agencies to best inform risk management decisions on the allowable concentrations of living organisms in discharged ballast water in order to safeguard against the establishment of new aquatic nonindigenous species, and to protect and preserve existing indigenous populations of fish, shellfish, and wildlife and other beneficial uses of the nation's waters. Assessing the relationship between propagule pressure and invasion risk in ballast water provides valuable information that can be used by federal agencies, such as the EPA, policy makers, environmental scientists, and researchers."--Publisher's description. 606 $aBallast water$xResearch 606 $aBallast water$xEnvironmental aspects$zUnited States 606 $aIntroduced organisms$xEnvironmental aspects$zUnited States 606 $aMarine biological invasions 615 0$aBallast water$xResearch. 615 0$aBallast water$xEnvironmental aspects 615 0$aIntroduced organisms$xEnvironmental aspects 615 0$aMarine biological invasions. 676 $a578.62 712 02$aNational Research Council (U.S.).$bCommittee on Assessing Numeric Limits for Living Organisms in Ballast Water. 712 02$aNational Research Council (U.S.).$bWater Science and Technology Board. 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910781889403321 996 $aAssessing the relationship between propagule pressure and invasion risk in ballast water$93754391 997 $aUNINA
