Engineering Controls for Ballast Water Discharge: A Workshop to Develop Research Needs

0314090 弗格森 关于压载水排放工程概念的研讨会将在三天内举行，可能在2003年3月在圣地亚哥举行，在第三届国际海洋生物入侵会议之前或之后。正在进行的NOAA BWT研究计划的研究人员将介绍当前的研究，并将访问海事管理局（MARAD）国防储备舰队船只，以说明压载水操作和使用NDRF船只作为BWT港口招标的可能性。关于ANS的范围以及微生物对人类健康、鱼类和贝类的危害的介绍将导致为期两天的关于生物武器管理系统和生物武器处理方法的简短介绍和分组工作组。这些小组将在这些领域开发研究问题和研究需求，可能完成某些技术的优先级排序和研究方法。PI将编写一份报告，发布在网站上供讨论，修订并在夏季提交给NSF。

0314090 Ferguson A workshop on Engineering Concepts for Ballast Water Discharge will be conducted over three days, probably in March 2003 in San Diego, preceding or following the 3 rd International Conference on Marine Bioinvasions. Researchers from the ongoing NOAA research program on BWT will present current studies, and a Maritime Administration (MARAD) National Defense Reserve Fleet vessel will be visited to illustrate ballast water operations and possibilities for using NDRF vessels as in port tenders for BWT. Presentations about the range of ANS and about microbial hazards to human health, fish and shellfish will lead off two days of short presentations and breakout working groups on approaches to BW management system and to BW treatment. The groups will develop research issues and research needs in these areas, perhaps accomplishing prioritization and research approaches for some technologies. A report will be prepared by the PI, posted at the website for discussion, revised and submitted to NSF in the summer.
