1 Review of Washington State’s Ballast Water Management Program Presented to the Pacific Ballast Work Group By Allen Pleus April 15, 2014 Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife

2 2  Prevent AIS from entering Washington State  Control or eradicate established AIS populations  Foster state, federal, tribal, and private cooperation  Promote public knowledge of AIS threats and laws  Enforce Washington State AIS statutes and regulations  Participate in regional and national AIS efforts AIS Program Core Functions Zebra & QuaggaMussels BallastWater Tsunami Debris New Zealand Mudsnails

3 1.Technical assistance to vessels on state laws and regulations 2.Assess compliance with state laws and regulations  Office review of BWRFs  On-board vessel review of BWM documentation 3.Prevent the discharge on non-compliant ballast water 4.Coordinate with US Coast Guard & EPA 5.Coordinate on West Coast/national consistency 3 BWM Core Functions

4 1.Developing automated BWRF data entry screen 2.Researching ballast water exchange effectiveness 3.Researching biofouling impacts to state 4.Grant proposal to develop 2015-2020 state ballast water management plan 5.Grant proposal to develop federal/state cooperative ballast water management Memorandum of Agreement 4 BWM Projects

5  Legislatively Established in 2000; Revised 2007  Budget from 2000 to 2006  “Soft” funding ~ $20-$100k/yr  Budget from 2007 to 2011 ($355k – 4.3 FTE)  General State fund ~$275k/yr (2.7 FTE)  Other AIS funds ~$80k/yr (1.55 FTE)  Budget from 2012 to 2013 ($265k – 3.3 FTE)  ALEA ~$225k/yr (2.8 FTE)  Other AIS funds ~$40k/yr (0.5 FTE) 5 BWM History & Budget

17  $150,000 EPA Puget Sound Marine and Nearshore Grant – Oct 2012 to May 2014  Awarded to Aquatic Bioinvasion Research and Policy Institute (PSU/SERC) – 5 tasks: 1.Identify species and percent of marine invasive species in Puget Sound 2.Identify high-risk vessel types 3.Identify best management equipment & practices 4.Identify non-vessel biofouling vectors, research & monitoring needs 5.Provide state management recommendations 17 Biofouling Impact Study

18 18 Biofouling Impact Study Preliminary Findings: 94 marine NIS established statewide 74 marine NIS established in Puget Sound 42 (57%) possible vessel biofouling vector

19 19 Biofouling Impact Study Initial Introduction Subsequent Spread Preliminary Findings: Vessel Biofouling (VB) 64% since 1950 Vessel Biofouling (VB) 45% since 1990

20  $140,000 EPA Puget Sound Marine and Nearshore Grant – Sep 2012 to Dec 2014  Awarded to WDFW with subcontract to University of Washington – 6 tasks: 1.Assessment of existing Ballast Water Exchange (BWE) samples and need for new samples 2.Stakeholder review of draft interim report 3.Collection of new BWE samples 4.Processing/analysis of new BWE samples 5.Analysis of BWE samples 6.Stakeholder review and completion of final report 20 BW Exchange Effectiveness

21  Collection/Processing Status:  58 new BWE samples collected for project to date  155 new and existing BWE samples processed for project to date  816 total BWE processed samples currently available for project analysis  116 total BWF unprocessed samples (not all will be processed for project)  932 total BWE samples 21 BW Exchange Effectiveness

22  Maintain core functions  Continue work on automated BWRF data entry as time/resources allow  Continue work on Ballast Water Exchange project  Develop 2015-2020 Ballast Water Management Plan if funded  Develop federal/state cooperative MOA if funded 22 Next Steps
