Ship Ballast Water Info
I picked this up from another webboard, it was in The Buffalo News.
Although PA is listed here, I have not seen any articles about PA fighting the ship ballast water. Has anyone else seen or have any information?
State supports efforts to regulate ship ballast
Updated: 03/01/08 6:53 AM
Attorney General Andrew Cuomo has joined the attorneys general in five other Great Lakes states in supporting Michigan’s bid to regulate ship ballast water linked to the introduction of non-native species like zebra mussels into the lakes.
Michigan’s ballast water control law has been challenged by members of the shipping industry.
Michigan won the challenge in district court, but the case is under appeal.
New York joins Minnesota, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin and Illinois in filing briefs in support of the law.
