California: BW Treatment Research
The California State Lands Commission (CSLC) will conduct a business meeting in Sacramento on March 25. Among the items on the calendar is a request for authority to enter into a contract to support vessel modifications and conduct shipboard ballast water treatment research. The plan calls for the CSLC to contribute $100,000 toward a $700,000 effort to install an experimental ballast water treatment system on the California Maritime Academy (CMA) training ship GOLDEN BEAR and conduct beta testing and calibration.
