The movement of ballast water by international shipping is a major vector for invasive weed species such as the zebra mussel and northern pacific sea star.
By enforcing ships to cycle ballast water as they enter a nations waters we minimise the introduction of invasive marine species.
This is an easy way to reduce the introduction of invasive species at minute cost to industry.
