Marine Invasive Species

Some ballast water can contain marine invasive species- aquatic organisms that invade ecosystems beyond their natural, historic range.

Marine Invasive Species

Some ballast water can contain marine invasive species- aquatic organisms that invade ecosystems beyond their natural, historic range. It is estimated that unmanaged ballast water moves more than 7,000 species around the world on a daily basis, with a single vessel ballast water discharge having the potential to release

  • ver 21.2 million individual planktonic animals.

The Marine Invasive Species Program seeks to be a world- leading program that reduces the risk of aquatic nonindigenous species introduction into California's waters.

  • After lots of introductions and lots of questions, I got down to work.

Sacramento

  • After lots of introductions and lots of questions, I got down to work.
  • My first task was data entry. I entered a form titled:

“Ballast Water Treatment Technology Annual Reporting Form”

  • My first task was data entry. I entered a form titled:

“Ballast Water Treatment Technology Annual Reporting Form”

  • My second task, a database update, ties to the information gathered from the

Reporting Form “Database Table Update 2017”

The most popular treatment system was a combination of filtration and ultra violet light.

Science “Week”

  • Collected samples from the Golden Bear, Cal Maritime’s Research Vessel
  • 2 ambient water samples (I essentially threw a bucket over the side of the ship)
  • 2 treated samples from the active ballast water treatment system on board
slide-25
SLIDE 25

Science “Week”

  • Used FDA (Fluorescein diacetate) graciously donated by the Golden Bear,

to stain the plankton in both the treated and untreated water samples. The dye causes the plankton to glow under UV light, making them easily

  • bservable and thus easy to count.
slide-26
SLIDE 26

Science “Week”

  • We compared treated and untreated samples, with both our counting
  • bservations and by using an indicative tool, with the conclusion that the

treatment system on board the Golden Bear is effective at treating ballast water.
