Ballast Water Management refers to the process of controlling and treating the water taken on by ships to maintain stability and balance. Ships often take in ballast water from one location and discharge it in another, which can introduce non-native species into new environments, potentially disrupting local ecosystems. To mitigate these risks, regulations require ships to treat their ballast water before discharge. This treatment can involve physical, chemical, or biological methods to kill or remove harmful organisms. Effective Ballast Water Management helps protect marine biodiversity and supports the health of aquatic ecosystems worldwide.
