There are different statutes for that. I'd have to do a quick review to see if it deals with ballast water. Primarily, in the U.S., the ballast water is not addressed by the bilateral act but rather through domestic legislation. The coast guard in the United States--it's called “no ballast on board”--has recently reinterpreted that legislation to discourage boats with empty ballasts from declaring no ballast on board. The way it used to work was if they had no water in their ballast they could say, “We have no ballast”, but of course there's always a little bit of water in the ballast and it's always full of invasive species.
So I think that issue is probably a little bit outside of CEPA at this point, but I'd be happy to make ties to it, if you'd like.
