Discussion on Biosecurity and Quarantine Supervision Measures for Ship Ballast Water
Ballast water from ships is one of the main channels that trigger safety hazards of alien marine organisms.If the supervision and control of ballast water from incoming ships are not strengthened,it may lead to marine environmental pollution and ecological resource damage,and will also have a certain impact on China's economic development.Therefore,the quarantine supervision of incoming ships'ballast water is an issue that urgently needs attention from China's Customs health quarantine departments.This paper compares and analyzes the quarantine supervision measures for ship ballast water in developed countries and China,and proposes specific quarantine measures and suggestions to address the biosecurity risks of ballast water.
