1 Hawai`i Invasive Species Council resolution on vessel in-water cleaning operations 19th ICMCF Thursday, 28th June 2018 Jules Kuo - Ballast Water & Biofouling Coordinator Department of Land and Natural Resources, Division of Aquatic Resources

2 Pro-active/ Prevention Pre-Border Proactive Vector risk assessments Outreach & education Detection Border Detection Monitoring Inventory/ cataloging Reactive/ Control Post-Border Reactive Rapid response Control/Era dication Monitoring

3 How many aquatic non-indigenous species (NIS) are currently established in Hawai`i? Region Aquatic NIS spp Reference Hawai`i 473 Eldredge & Carlton 2009; Godwin and Bolick, in prep 2017 Continental US San Francisco Bay 450* Ruiz et al., Hayden et al New Zealand 206 Hayden et al Australia 160 Hewitt et al., 2004 Europe 546 Gollasch, 2006 * Invert and algae

4 >80% consumer goods are shipped into Hawai`i

5 Hawai`i In-water cleaning (IWC) report Zabin et al, 2017 ~100 coastwise and foreign large vessels (commercial, military, yachts, fishing) vessels were cleaned in Hawai`i 2015 Tools used include abrasive and non-abrasive; no IWCC tools were used Hawai`i IWC companies interviewed indicated a willingness to use debris-capture technology if it were available and economical promoting more frequent (pro-active) hull cleanings greater use of non-toxic coatings the adaptation of the US Navy s best management practices (BMPs)

6 The Hawai`i Invasive Species Council (HISC) is a State interdepartmental collaboration established in 2003 by Hawaii s State Legislature (HRS Chapter 194) The HISC was created to provide policy level direction, coordination, and planning among state departments HRS Hawaii Revised Statutes

11 Overlapping jurisdictions regarding IWC High level coordination need be taken between DOH, DOT, DLNR, and maritime industry Develop safe and practicable conditions for inwater microfouling/slime-layer management conditions and review risks Participate in ACT IWCC Testing Project High level coordination need be taken among regional, national, and international gov agencies Develop biofouling management regs

12 Recognizes the importance of shipping industry to Hawaii s economy Recognizes efforts to adopt voluntary biofouling management BMPs and reducing toxic paint use Hawaii is tropical island provides tropical testing ground for ACT IWCC Project Develop Biofouling Regulations, launch with phase-in period beginning December 2019

13 April 30, 2018 Hawai`i Concurrent Resolution 130 ADOPTED BY HAWAI`I STATE LEGISLATURE

22 Summary of In-water Cleaning Resolution Overlapping jurisdictions High level of coordination among government partners and industry Major action items Develop and implement Hawai`i s Microfouling IWC Conditions Participate in Alliance for Coastal Technologies IWCC Project Amend Hawai`i Administrative Rules (HAR) Chapter to include Vessel Biofouling Regulations

23 Summary of Risk Assessment Criteria for Vessel In-Water Microfouling Management Biosecurity and water quality degradation risk assessment Through documentation (primary) and visual vessel inspection (secondary) Vessel structure and areas requesting cleaning Paint type (ideal are non-toxic AF paints) Vessel itinerary and lay-up periods Cleaning method/tool Environmental factors Safety Start around August 2018

24 Tackling the Problem through Collaboration Military, federal, state agency stakeholders, commercial/recreational maritime industry, scientists, vector management system vendors, national/international experts

28 Hawai`i Ballast Water and Biofouling Program Our Mission To effectively manage the ballast water and vessel biofouling vectors of aquatic alien species transfer into and among the Hawaiian Islands to mālama (protect) the native aquatic habitats. Our Vision To eliminate the biosecurity threats in Hawai`i associated with vesselborne aquatic aliens through an alliance with the local, national and international maritime industry, government stakeholders, and the kama aina (Hawai`i residents).
