Because we are attacking and destroying their habitats. We do it by war, but with the fuel used, but with research done under the sea, but with nuclear tests\u2026 We do it somehow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.intraders.org\/news\/ot\/columnwriter\/\">Be Our InTraders\u2019 Blogger for Free of Registration to InTraders\u2019 Conferences<\/a><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>In this text; I will talk\nabout how our seas are polluted, how different waters are transported to\ndifferent waters, and what changes this situation has caused. And I will cover\nthis topic in five (5) topics. In addition, I will be leaving two titles as a\nnote at the end of this article.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>1-\nEvacuation of the balance water of the ships:<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8211; Local organisms accompany the ships when they sail,\nthat is, when they sail. These organisms are kind of hitchhikers, and some take\nthis journey unintentionally. In fact, we can call them a kind of invader. They\ncan travel long distances. They can invade and disrupt ecosystems far from\ntheir native habitat and drive out native species.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8211; These invaders travel tied on the sides or bottom of\nboats. However, much more of them continue their journey by hiding in the\n&#8220;ballast tanks&#8221; of the ships.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8211; If a ship leaves port without cargo, it fills the ballast tanks with water to help maintain its balance. When it arrives at the port where it will load, it pumps this water out in order to receive the load. It is in this water that the creatures that have been detached from their local and natural habitats mix with the new waters they are transported to. Ballast waters are the largest carriers of marine species. Some living things that were moved by this change of location cause the extinction of some living things living in the local ecosystem. E.g; The veined Rapa snail (native to Asia) damages newly found nests. This snail is a creature that was transported from its native waters to the Chesapeake Bay and has become a predator and a threat to clam fisheries in the bay. Likewise, Trumpet and lionfish, which have crossed the Red Sea and reached the warm Mediterranean waters of Turkey, also harm the ecosystem by eating the eggs and fry of underwater creatures in this region.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"516\" height=\"387\" src=\"https:\/\/www.intraders.org\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/image-1.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-6552\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.intraders.org\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/image-1.png 516w, https:\/\/www.intraders.org\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/image-1-300x225.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 516px) 100vw, 516px\" \/><figcaption>Ballast Water Discharge<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8211; To prevent a ship from being transported from its\nlocal address to another of these organisms; it may be possible for ship\ncaptains to prevent the carriage of smuggled invaders by washing and refilling\nballast tanks with ocean water before arriving in port. For this reason, in the\nUnited States and some other countries, ships began to be required to keep\nballast waters on board and\/or to thoroughly wash these tanks in deep waters\naway from the shore.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8211; It is also known that some research centres and some\nscientists are studying techniques such as filtering and\/or purifying ballast\nwaters with UV rays and\/or heat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8211; An international measure to protect the environment\nwent into effect on September 8, 2017, in order to prevent the damage these\ninvaders can cause by spreading. The International Convention on the Control\nand Management of Ships&#8217; Ballast Water and Sediments (BWM Convention) requires\nships to manage this situation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8211; PS: The BWM Convention was adopted in 2004 by the\nInternational Maritime Organization (IMO), the United Nations specialized\nagency responsible for developing global standards for ship safety and security\nand protecting the marine environment and atmosphere from all harmful effects\nof shipping.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8211; Expanding ship trade and traffic volumes over the\npast few decades have made the release of invasive species more likely.\nHundreds of invasions have already occurred, sometimes with devastating\nconsequences for the local ecosystem, economy and infrastructure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8211; All ships must have a ballast water logbook and an\nInternational Ballast Water Management Certificate. For this, it is necessary\nto apply two different standards; <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>D-1 standard: requires ships to replace ballast water in high seas away from coastal waters. Ideally, this would mean at least 200 nautical miles from land and at least 200 meters in water. By doing this, fewer organisms will survive and therefore ships will be less likely to introduce potentially harmful species when they release ballast water.<\/li><li>D-2 is a performance standard that specifies the maximum amount of living organisms allowed to be evacuated, including certain indicator microbes harmful to human health.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignleft is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.intraders.org\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/image-2.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-6553\" width=\"346\" height=\"222\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.intraders.org\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/image-2.png 341w, https:\/\/www.intraders.org\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/image-2-300x193.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 346px) 100vw, 346px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8211; New ships must meet the D-2 standard while existing ships must initially meet the D-1 standard. For the D-2 standard, an implementation schedule has been agreed upon based on the date of the ship&#8217;s International Oil Pollution Prevention Certificate (IOPC) renewal survey, which must be carried out at least every five years. Eventually, all ships will have to comply with the D-2 standard. For most ships, this means installing specialized equipment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8211; Examples of invasive species;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>North American honeycomb jelly travelled\nthrough the ballast water of ships from the east coast of America to the Black,\nAzov and Caspian Seas. This invasive species consumes Zooplankton stocks;\ncaused changes in the food web and ecosystem function. The species contributed\nsignificantly to the collapse of the Azov, Black and Caspian Sea fisheries in\nthe 1990s and 2000s, with major economic and social impacts. It has also led to\nthe extinction of many fish species that cannot be reached and hunted in these\nseas today. <\/li><li>The zebra mussel has been transported from\nthe Black Sea to western and northern Europe, including Ireland and the Baltic\nSea, and to the eastern half of North America. Travels in larval form in\nballast water, when released it has rapid reproductive growth in North America\nwith no natural predators. Mussels multiply and degrade all available hard\nsurfaces by mass numbers. Replacing native aquatic life, this species changes\nhabitat, ecosystem and food web and causes serious pollution problems in\ninfrastructure and ships. These problems have resulted in high economic costs\nof unblocking welded intake pipes, weirs and irrigation ditches.<\/li><li>North Pacific starfish moved in ballast\nwater from the northern Pacific to southern Australia. It multiplies rapidly,\nreaching &#8220;plague&#8221; rates in infested environments. This invasive\nspecies has caused significant economic losses as it feeds on shellfish,\nincluding commercially valuable species of scallops, oysters and scallops.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;2- <strong><em>What about the asbestos danger in shipyards?<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignleft\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"387\" height=\"255\" src=\"https:\/\/www.intraders.org\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/image-4.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-6555\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.intraders.org\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/image-4.png 387w, https:\/\/www.intraders.org\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/image-4-300x198.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 387px) 100vw, 387px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>This danger, which is experienced and continues to be experienced not only in Turkey, is, unfortunately, a problem that threatens the seas, oceans and the creatures living here all over the world. This problem, which is thought to be experienced in the narrow area it is located in, is a problem that reaches the open seas first with all the ships entering and leaving the shipyards, and then with the currents and tides. It causes permanent damage that is difficult to remove at the transition points.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The International Convention for the Safety of Life at Sea has banned the use of asbestos or asbestos-containing materials on commercial ships worldwide from 1 January 2011.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>3- The washing water of the holds of dry cargo ships<\/em><\/strong>, the discharge of <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignleft\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"384\" height=\"216\" src=\"https:\/\/www.intraders.org\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/image-5.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-6556\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.intraders.org\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/image-5.png 384w, https:\/\/www.intraders.org\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/image-5-300x169.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 384px) 100vw, 384px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>polluted water during and\/or after washing, and the lack of filtering before this discharge is negative support to this problem in our seas. All kinds of dry cargoes are transported in their warehouses and ships that wash before taking new cargo after unloading must have a filtering system at the beginning of the discharge of these washing waters, just as in the discharge of ballast waters. However, having this system is a separate issue, using or not using it is another problem. Inspections and controls must be carried out regularly and unannounced.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignleft\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"252\" height=\"199\" src=\"https:\/\/www.intraders.org\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/image-8.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-6559\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>4- The discharge of domestic waste created by the personnel working on the ships<\/em><\/strong> into the open seas is another indicator of the thoughtlessness of human beings.
