Marine Biosecurity Toolkit: Marine Non-Indigenous Species Management Strategies and Risk Analysis Framework

Abstract

This document is the result of a review of existing literature on the potential mitigation and management strategies for reducing the impact of marine non-indigenous species (NIS) that are the focus of the Pacific Island countries and territories Marine Biosecurity Toolkit species ID guides. A risk analysis framework is also included to provide information on objective and sound methods of assessing the biosecurity risk associated with the arrival of vessels and the potential marine NIS those vessels may carry on their hull via biofouling or in ballast water.
