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

0314090弗格森在第三届国际海洋生物入侵会议之前或之后，将举办为期三天的压载水排放工程概念研讨会，可能于2003年3月在圣地亚哥举行。来自NOAA正在进行的BWT研究项目的研究人员将介绍当前的研究，并将参观一艘海事局(MARAD)国防后备舰队船只，以说明压载水作业以及在BWT港口招标中使用NDRF船只的可能性。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陈述将导致为期两天的简短陈述和关于BW管理系统和BW处理方法的分组工作组。这些小组将开发这些领域的研究问题和研究需求，可能会完成某些技术的优先顺序和研究方法。国际和平研究所将编写一份报告，张贴在网站上供讨论，修改后将于夏季提交给国家科学基金会。

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.
