ST. PAUL - A state lawmaker wants to clamp down on oceangoing ships to control the spread of exotic aquatic species such as killer shrimp and zebra mussels.
Sen. Ann Rest, DFL-New Hope, said Tuesday she will push next year to make oceangoing ships get a permit from the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency before entering the state's waters on Lake Superior. The bill is modeled after a Michigan law that takes effect there in 2007.
