The April 13th issue of Science News had an article about exotics hitching
rides in the balast water of ships and new methods of iradicating them. I
found it interesting that when a ship purges it's ballast tanks it can still
retain as much as 150 tons of water and mud. Some new techniques include
adding vitamin K and ozone to the water.

If anyone wants to read the article, let me know off-line and I'll PDF it.
