The report, compiled by the Great Lakes Ballast Water Working Group (BWWG), summarizes efforts to coordinate bi-national enforcement and compliance efforts to reduce the likelihood of introduction of aquatic invasive species via ballast water. The report indicates that, during 2007, 100% of first trip ships bound for the Great Lakes received a ballast water examination and 100% of ballast water reporting forms were screened to assess ballast water history, compliance, voyage information, and proposed discharge location".
