Hello,
   and thanks for opening - Just a simple question, used to be stationed
in San Francisco, since then have been stationed in the Great Lakes and
the Chesapeake Bay region - both areas VERY concerned with the
introduction of non-indigenous species via the discharge of otherwise
clean ballast water from ships arriving from foreign ports - any
action/movement to address this from a state prospective?  I know the fed
gub'ment is working on a nationwide program, but the bigger the goverment,
the slower it moves - any local groups working on the problem (and don't
kid yourself, it IS a MAJOR problem) Thanks for any info
