173. lappuse - The National Research Council (NRC), the operating arm of the National Academy of Sciences, was originally slated to conduct the study cited in the ballast management bills through its Marine Board. The Marine Board initiates assessments and responds to requests for advice on a number of issues, ranging from protection of marine environments to technology of ships and marine systems. Although Congress has not yet approved the bills, the Marine Board, in response to a request from the Task Force and...

234. lappuse - ... originating from estuarine systems, often contains a diverse assemblage of microorganisms, plants, and animals. As ballast water is discharged into a different port (and therefore a new ecosystem), the organisms contained within are released. Many of these species have successfully invaded new regions. The Chesapeake Bay is a "hot spot" for the delivery of foreign ballast water that often contains a rich assemblage of nonindigenous species.
90. lappuse - Potamocorbula population in the northern reaches of the Estuary can filter the entire water column over the channels more than once per day and over the shallows almost 13 times per day, a rate of filtration which exceeds the phytoplankton's specific growth rate and approaches or exceeds the bacterioplankton's specific growth rate.
179. lappuse - Gulf of Mexico jetties, Los Angeles Harbor, San Francisco Bay, the Great Lakes, and many other bays and estuaries in the United States are now being invaded by exotic species released by ballast water and sediments. Millions of gallons of ballast water are released weekly in the Chesapeake Bay, and both national and global invasion patterns indicate that the Bay is thus at high imminent risk of invasion by more exotic species.
