Os novos equipamentos para evitar o impacto da água de lastro no meio ambiente

Abstract

This monograph is the feasibility study of the new purpose equipment avoid the environmental impact due to bioinvasion generated through the ballast water of ships in various port regions in Brazil and worldwide. Thus we see how the use of specific equipment, ensuring mode, a lower environmental impact index generated by port operations. Knowing that the environmental conditions of the site of ballast water discharge may cause aquatic organisms to colonize this environment, generating an invasion of non-originating species of the region, thus changing the composition of native species, bringing the decline in fishing activities in region and can also cause disease outbreaks caused by bacteria build upon ballast water. The implementation of a policy increasingly widespread day and focused on the environment, thus making studies of new methods and the development of new efficient equipment able to bring solution to about the treatment of ballast water, fitting the new trends of international policy health, safety and the environment.
