The way in which international legislation is developed is often a long and complex process with those organizations leading in the development often criticised for not consulting adequately with stakeholders, not clearly considering the consequences of legislation or not incorporating proper scientific evidence. The IMarEST and other professional bodies, aim to help the development of legislation by providing sound, impartial, scientific advice to intergovernmental organizations in order to inform their decision making. This presentation will look at how the IMarEST are involved with a range of intergovernmental organizations, the processes and procedures in place, and how IMarEST members can get involved. A detailed case study of the IMarEST and its involvement with the International Maritime Organization in the development of the Ballast Water Management Convention will be used to illustrate the complexities but also highlight the way in which professional bodies can play a pivotal role in shaping the way forward.
