Okay, so the ship takes in ballast water from one coast—full of local plankton, larvae, tiny crabs—and pumps it out on the other side of the world, dumping those foreign creatures. There's a global treaty now, the Ballast Water Management Convention, to force ships to treat that water. But honestly, the rules are so slow and patchy compared to how fast ports like Chennai grow. Studying near the harbour, I see more foreign jellyfish blooms each year, a silent invasion happening right under the new cruise terminal's glitter.
