“…In 2014, Argentina approved the Ballast Water Management Convention (Law 27011) and in 2017 the maritime authority (Prefectura Naval Argentina) published all the regulations regarding this law for its implementation (DPAM N° 07/2017; Abelando et al 2020;Abelando 2021). Concerning the management of biofouling, the country does not have specific legislation and regulations but there were two important advances in this matter.…”

§ contribuciones iguales.A��. The study of marine bioinvasions was not homogenously developed worldwide and it is unclear the amount of research effort currently applied across the Southwestern Atlantic (SWA) countries. Through a comprehensive literature review, in this work, we analyze trends, gaps and achievements in the marine bioinvasion research efforts made along the coastal-marine ecosystems of the SWA and over the last 20 years of development, and we identify current challenges to further strengthening regional and international policies and management decisions concerning coastal-marine invasive species. Our analysis showed an exponential growth in the research effort, mostly focused on ecological pa�erns of non-native species, while other categories of studies (e.g., processes, management, methodological and socio-ecological) received significantly less a�ention. We found a high prevalence of national studies, while regional and international collaborations were virtually nil. Although the three countries in the region have made important achievements regarding the study and management of marine bioinvasions, changing this unbalance in the research effort between national and international collaborations, and specifically the limited scientific collaborations across the SWA countries, should be a top priority to be�er deal with marine bioinvasions in a regional and global context.

Resumen: Gracias al avance tecnológico, la frecuencia de los viajes transoceánicos ha aumentado; y de manera involuntaria, también el transporte de especies de una región a otra, quebrantando barreras naturales. Cuando estas especies se convierten en invasoras, suelen generar graves impactos en la biodiversidad, la economía y la salud pública. Este estudio analiza la gestión del agua de lastre en los puertos argentinos situados en la Cuenca del Plata, basándose en datos publicados e inéditos acerca del cumplimiento de la normativa nacional e internacional, análisis de riesgo, tendencias y experiencias en otros países de la región. Luego de casi una década de trabajo, Argentina ha logrado un cumplimiento efectivo de la normativa vigente por parte de la flota mercante, lo que se ha visto reflejado en la ausencia de nuevas especies invasoras en la región. Los esfuerzos futuros para reducir los impactos de la invasión deben considerar la optimización de recursos e incorporar nuevas metodologías en el control del agua de lastre, particularmente la Regla D-2, así como también considerar las bioincrustaciones como otro vector de importancia.

“…An invasive population of Chinese mitten crabs (Eriocheir sinensis) has recently formed in the San Francisco Bay system on the west coast of North America, causing millions of dollars in economic and ecological losses by damaging fishery resources and the aquarium industry (Dittel and Epifanio, 2009). Golden mussel (Limnoperna fortunei) is an invasive species mainly from China and Korea that has caused significant damage to the ecosystem and infrastructure of the Prata Basin in Argentina, Brazil, and other South American countries (Abelando et al, 2020;de Paula et al, 2020). One study estimated that the global economic cost of invasive species caused by ballast water discharge was approximately $162.7 billion in 2017 (Diagne et al, 2021).…”

IntroductionThe expansion of maritime trade has led to the introduction of invasive species into aquatic ecosystems through ballast water discharge. China, being a major player in global trade and manufacturing, has experienced negative impacts on its coastal ecosystems and marine biodiversity.MethodsThis study examines the cost‒benefit trade-offs of ballast water management policies for major port clusters in China and other global ports. This paper evaluates compliance costs for individual vessels and fleets under different policy scenarios and ballast water treatment system (BWTS) installation strategies.ResultsThe onboard BWTS installation strategy appears to be more cost-effective under the existing International Maritime Organization (IMO) policy. However, with stricter global discharge requirements or a substantial increase in BWTS capital and operating costs, strategies based on port location could prove more beneficial due to potential economies of scale. Notably, ships with high ballast water discharge volumes, like bulk carriers, are potentially better equipped to cope with future policy shifts. In the face of stricter regulations in China, projected annual compliance cost increases range from $456 million (cost data based on China) to $1.205 billion (cost data based on US).DiscussionPolicymakers are advised to adopt a comprehensive view of ballast water management policies, taking into account the trade-offs between compliance costs and environmental risks. Other essential factors, such as advancements in BWTS technology, fuel consumption, emissions, and maintenance costs, also demand careful consideration in policy development.
