Role of Reporting in Compliance Monitoring and Enforcement of Ballast Water Management
The Decision Support System (DSS) for ballast water management in any given port is dependent on the availability of information on ballast water carried by a ship in advance. Collation of information through Ballast Water Reporting Forms (BWRF) has been

Cyanobacteria Sustain Deep Ocean Carbon Sequestration Despite Eukaryotic Loss
Abstract The biological carbon pump exports phytoplankton‐derived organic carbon to the deep ocean, regulating long‐term carbon sequestration and climate. Yet how phytoplankton community composition controls the magnitude and efficiency of this process remains poorly understood.

Economic Incentives for Controlling Trade-Related Biological Invasions in the Great Lakes [PDF]
Ballast water from commercial ships engaged in international trade has been implicated as the primary invasion pathway in over 60 percent of new introductions of invasive alien species (IAS) in the Great Lakes since 1960.

Abstract Changes to the North Atlantic spring bloom phytoplankton community structure are expected in response to regional warming trends. In 2024 an extensive body of low chlorophyll water, covering approximately 720,000 km2 in area, dominated the Northeast Atlantic during the peak of the spring bloom period.

Analysis into the selection of a ballast water treatment system
Today, it is very important to select and install the optimal equipment for the treatment of ballast water in existing ships. Increasing cargo volumes demand for a greater number of ships for transportation and expanded navigation geography as well as ...

Ship‐Based GNSS Tsunami Detection: Pilot Network Demonstration
Abstract We demonstrate the potential for ship‐based GNSS systems to contribute to tsunami warning. We built a pilot network of 10 ships—8 commercial and 2 research vessels—equipped with a tsunami detection package consisting of a geodetic‐grade GNSS antenna and receiver, and satellite internet communications.

Abstract The Ross Sea supports massive phytoplankton blooms and exhibits the highest marine primary productivity rates due to seasonal relief of iron and light limitations. Although Earth System Models project regional increases in temperature and iron supply, there is uncertainty regarding the response of different phytoplankton communities. To assess

The aim of the research was to improve the fundamental understanding of mechanical behaviour of ballast and study the effect of tamping on ballast. The experiments were carried out on scaled railway ballast to eliminate the difficulties associated with ...

ABSTRACT Aim Identifying the origins of widespread species is crucial for conservation in isolated biodiversity hotspots, where ‘cryptogenic’ status often hinders effective biosecurity. We investigated the genetic identity and introduction history of the red macroalga Asparagopsis taxiformis in the Galápagos Islands to resolve its cryptogenic status ...
