  1. Despite the availability of research which has direct applications to environmental management, there is often a disconnect between scientific research and applied management that presents challenges for using academic knowledge in day‐to‐day operations by non‐scientists.
  2. A science‐based decision support tool was developed in partnership with Canada's marine authority, Transport Canada, for use by ballast water inspectors in their daily operations to inform prioritization of ships for regulatory compliance inspections.
  3. This science‐based tool combines information on the two primary pathway‐level predictors of species establishment success: environmental matching between source and recipient locations and propagule pressure (introduction effort), to generate risk estimates and relative rankings using data taken directly from ballast water reporting forms submitted by arriving ships.
  4. This tool thus packages the best available scientific knowledge in such a way as to be readily accessible for day‐to‐day decision‐making. While this tool was developed for Canada, it could be applied in any country with very little, if any, modification. This tool can also be updated in the future to incorporate advances in scientific understanding of ballast‐mediated introductions of non‐indigenous species.
  5. Synthesis and applications. Partnerships between scientists and managers are essential for ensuring that best‐available science translates into effective adaptive management. Recognizing a need to inform ballast water management compliance inspections, a tool was created that automatically estimates relative risk of establishment of non‐indigenous species for arriving ships. This information can be used by ballast water inspectors developing priorities for resource‐limited regulatory compliance inspections.

一种决策支持工具,可通过对非本地物种建立的风险进行排名来对压载水合规性监测进行优先级排序

  1. 尽管已有可直接应用于环境管理的研究,但科学研究与应用管理之间通常存在脱节,这给非科学家在日常操作中使用学术知识提出了挑战。
  2. 与加拿大海洋当局加拿大运输局合作开发了一种基于科学的决策支持工具,供压载水检查人员在日常操作中使用,以告知船舶优先顺序以进行法规遵从性检查。
  3. 这种基于科学的工具结合了物种建立成功的两个主要途径一级预测因子的信息:源和接收者位置之间的环境匹配以及繁殖压力(引入工作量),使用直接从压载水报告中获取的数据生成风险估计和相对等级到达船只提交的表格。
  4. 因此,该工具以易于访问的方式打包了可用的最佳科学知识,以便进行日常决策。尽管此工具是为加拿大开发的,但几乎无需修改即可在任何国家/地区使用。将来也可以对该工具进行更新,以结合对压载介导的非本地物种引进的科学理解的进步。
  5. 综合与应用。科学家与管理人员之间的合作关系对于确保将最佳科学转化为有效的适应性管理至关重要。认识到需要通知压载水管理合规性检查,因此创建了一种工具,该工具可以自动估计抵港船舶建立非本地物种的相对风险。压载水检查人员可以使用此信息来确定资源受限的法规遵从性检查的优先级。
