Sažetak
One of the major ecological risk of maritime transport is the introduction of new species in marine environment by ballast waters, especially due to growing maritime transport. Current knowledge on harmful effects of ballast waters is incomplete because the monitoring is implemented on limited marine areas. Present ballast water treatment methods are not sufficient and several methods should be combined in order to meet strict criteria of The International Convention for the Control and Management of Ships Ballast Water and Sediments. It is essential to develop scientifically based strategy on ballast water pollution in the Republic of Croatia, and it should include unitary monitoring, which is vast and demanding project.
