Ports watching law that could halt foreign ships

November 30, 2010 - 06:56 — glbm

A New York ballast law that potentially could block ships from entering the St. Lawrence Seaway System is triggering widespread concern. Scheduled to take effect on Jan. 1, 2012, the law was enacted to prevent invasive species from entering domestic waters. Already, more than 170 nonindigenous species have been found in the Great Lakes.
