Domain-specific¶
- Ballast-Water Transfer
- Before onboard treatment was mandated, the frontline control was mid-ocean ballast-water exchange: ships bound across a biogeographic barrier were required to flush their coastal ballast and refill with open-ocean water hundreds of miles offshore
This sourceIMO guidelines recommending that ships exchange ballast in deep, open ocean as far from shore as possible, since coastal organisms rarely survive mid-ocean.

Verification¶
Does it exist? Not checked yet. This entry carries no identifier to resolve. It was extracted from the citation as written in the article, normalized, and deduplicated against the rest of the registry.
Does it back the claim? Read against the text for 1 of 1 citation: 1 supported in part. Each verdict is shown under its citation below, with what in the work backs the sentence.
Support is checked per citation rather than per work — the same source can be cited soundly in one article and wrongly in another. Per-citation recording began recently, so a citation with no recorded check is a gap in the record rather than evidence it went unchecked.
