Guidance on preventing the movement of invasive species between islands in Pacific countries and territories

Abstract

The need for this guidance document was identified through consultation with National Invasive Species Coordinators (NISC), Pacific Regional Invasive Species Management Support Service (PRISMSS) partners, and other Pacific invasive species management practitioners. This document is a key output under the ‘Managing Invasive Species for Climate Change Adaptation in the Pacific’ (MISCCAP) project. This document was informed by New Zealand’s Department of Conservation (DOC) Island biosecurity best practice: Quarantine guidelines, which aim to protect offshore ecosystems and native species from the negative impact of invasive species on Department of Conservation managed islands.
