Ballast Water Management Reports
•Vessels submit BW Reports to the NBIC and PdxMex
•PdxMex reports are forwarded to State Agencies: WDFW and ODEQ. Data is entered and analyzed by WDFW and PSU
•NBIC receives, processes, and analyzes National Ballast Water data.
•Redundancy through duplication of effort between the Federal and State Programs
![Page 15: Ballast Water and the Columbia River: Patterns and Reporting Compliance Christina Simkanin and Mark Sytsma Aquatic Bioinvasion Research and Policy Institute.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062421/56649da95503460f94a965d1/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Reporting Pilot Project
Aim: To demonstrate that through Federal and State collaboration it’s possible to increase the quantity and quality of ballast water data received, and reduce the duplication of effort thereby increasing efficiency.
•Utilize the already developed and standardized federal data management program (NBIC)
•Utilize a regional contact (PSU) to follow-up on missing or erroneous reports and inform vessels/agents on reporting requirements.
•Quantify the differences in compliance rates between the federal and state programs.
![Page 16: Ballast Water and the Columbia River: Patterns and Reporting Compliance Christina Simkanin and Mark Sytsma Aquatic Bioinvasion Research and Policy Institute.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062421/56649da95503460f94a965d1/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Columbia River Reporting Rates:
• BW Reports from PdxMex
Data Collection
• Vessel arrivals database
• Agent Contact
• Record Keeping
*Keep in mind that this data includes all of the ports on the Columbia River, does not include Barges, and all state data before 2005 was collected by the WDFW.
Local/State Level
• Quality Control

Columbia River Reporting Rates:
Federal Level
• Web interface: Electronic Reporting
• Hardcopy Reports: Faxed
Daily Monitoring of Compliance:
• Currently vessels which do not report Federally are not contacted by the NBIC or PSU.
• Federal legislation requires that BW data is collected from ships, or their agents, reporting directly to the NBIC and not via an intermediary.
• Agents contacted for local follow-up are reminded of Federal reporting requirements.

Web-Based System for Viewing Electronic Submissions to the NBIC
![Page 22: Ballast Water and the Columbia River: Patterns and Reporting Compliance Christina Simkanin and Mark Sytsma Aquatic Bioinvasion Research and Policy Institute.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062421/56649da95503460f94a965d1/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
•NBIC sends PSU monthly data records of the reports received, which are downloaded into a PSU database
Monthly Analysis of Compliance:
•Comparison of reports received by the State and the NBIC
•Data not contained in these data records i.e. vessels which reported to the state but not the NBIC (includes data gained through local follow-up) are manually entered by PSU staff.

Results Summary:
• Increased quantity and quality of reports/data
Collaboration between the State and Federal programs can lead to:
State level:
• Increased reporting compliance over time:
Federal level:
YES
?
• Increased data efficiency
These results demonstrate the value of local/regional follow-up to BW data quality; and by decreasing the duplication of effort more time is available for analysis and dissemination of results.

Conclusion
•California in 2004, 97% of vessels reporting (Faulkner et al., 2005).
•The Columbia River now has one of the most complete ballast water databases in the world (95% of vessels reporting in 2005).
•Adds to the success of the other ballast water programs on the West Coast:
•Washington, Puget Sound and WA Coastal ports, in 2005, 88% of vessels reporting (WDFW, 2006).
