Ballast Water Management Program
The Port of Stockton, in consultation with the California State Lands Commission, is implementing a pilot Ballast Water Management Program.

The Port also requires ship operators to fill out a ballast water inspection log in order to verify that open ocean exchanges of ballast water are made.
