Maritime Way Scientific Ltd. Operational Oceanography & Scientific Solutions Presentation Outline The challenge Workshop vision and objectives Workshop deliverables Why do it? Why us? How could it be done? Question and discussion

Maritime Way Scientific Ltd. Operational Oceanography & Scientific Solutions “One of the maritime industry’s greatest challenges is to find ballast water management solutions that are safe for both the ship and its crew, while reducing the risk of introducing exotic species. Invasive species are plants, animals, aquatic life and micro-organisms that, when introduced outside of their natural environment, out-compete native species and can disrupt the existing balance of that ecosystem.” Green Marine: advancing environmental excellence, issues and criteria, aquatic invasive species. The Challenge

Maritime Way Scientific Ltd. Operational Oceanography & Scientific Solutions Workshop Vision Reduction of anthropogenic harm to oceans ecosystems by significantly reducing inadvertent marine alien invasive species transported into Canadian waters by marine shipping…. by the implementation of a complimentary measure to ballast water treatment systems, i.e. real time advice to shipping on highly optimum areas for ballast water exchange.

Maritime Way Scientific Ltd. Operational Oceanography & Scientific Solutions Develop an achievable plan to implemented an operational ballast water exchange advisory service Engage with stakeholders of ballast water exchange to: Validate that such a system has scientific merit and technical feasibility; and Generate industry and regularity support. Workshop Objectives

Maritime Way Scientific Ltd. Operational Oceanography & Scientific Solutions Workshop Deliverable An actionable plan for implementing a robust real time system for delivery of optimised ballast water ocean exchange locations for marine shipping, that is: Scientifically valid Supported by the marine shipping industry Addresses required resources for development Addresses required resources for operations

Maritime Way Scientific Ltd. Operational Oceanography & Scientific Solutions The current risk of AIS disruptions of ecosystems is real The risk will increase on all three coasts –Especially in BC –Very special concerns in the Arctic The need to be seen to be proactive as much as being proactive, especially in BC –Beyond due diligence Why bother doing it?

Maritime Way Scientific Ltd. Operational Oceanography & Scientific Solutions Ballast water treatment will reduce the risk, but does not come close to eliminating it. Neither would a ballast water exchange service But the two are complimentary “ = 2 – 5” We could reduce risk by 1,000s Why won’t treatment be enough?

Maritime Way Scientific Ltd. Operational Oceanography & Scientific Solutions Canada has taken on an international leadership role in ballast water exchange as a complimentary measure. Canada has proven science leadership in these issues. Operational ocean models now exist. BC ports are readying for growth. –incoming ballast water will grow Why us? Why now?

Maritime Way Scientific Ltd. Operational Oceanography & Scientific Solutions

Maritime Way Scientific Ltd. Operational Oceanography & Scientific Solutions A service that starts small, and grows Initially, based on general shipping routes to the main ports, then evolving to individual ships, eventually to origin of the ballast water Takes into account other factors (e.g. weather) Geographically –BC, then the Eastern Artic, then Atlantic –possibly then the Great Lakes How could it be done?

Maritime Way Scientific Ltd. Operational Oceanography & Scientific Solutions Must respect the mariner at sea Need to work closely with Port Authorities and Shipping companies and agents Dissemination by INMARSAT etc. Formats should be designed for ease of use, e.g. S-57, KML, or proprietary Easier now that we know where ships are How does this get to the ships?

Maritime Way Scientific Ltd. Operational Oceanography & Scientific Solutions This is at the intersection of private gain and public good. Sustained federal funding highly unlikely Outside academic mandate. MWS has great experience in operational oceanography. –And a long term passion Why not DFO? Why MWS?

Maritime Way Scientific Ltd. Operational Oceanography & Scientific Solutions Maritime Way Scientific Ltd. has started the design, concept and development of the Ocean Data Integrator (ODI). Part of the development is to build a forecast system for optimised ballast water exchange regions. This application builds directly on the pioneering work of Dr. David Brinkman e.g. D. Brickman, P.C. Smith / Marine Pollution Bulletin 54 (2007) 863–874
