This document provides sampling guidance for rapid marine assessments performed in the field to detect new marine non-indigenous species (NIS) across the Pacific islands and territories. It provides links to existing information and resources to help

The International Convention for the Control and Management of Ships' Ballast Water and Sediments (Ballast Water Management Convention or BWM Convention) is an international maritime treaty that requires international vessels that fly flags of signat

Preventing the arrival, establishment and spread of marine non-indigenous species (NIS) is most cost- and time- effective during the transport stage. Vessels can accumulate biofouling (attached aquatic plants and animals) and spread them beyond their

These are the top 25 marine non-indigenous species of concern identified for Tuvalu.

These are the top 25 marine non-indigenous species of concern identified for the Republic of the Marshall Islands (RMI).

The ballast water risk assessment is designed to help determine the level of risk the ballast water of different vessels may pose to the territories and whether the ballast water more or less likely to contain invasive species. This risk assessment s

Invasive alien species are recognised as one of the leading threats to biodiversity and also impose enormous costs on agriculture, forestry, fisheries, and other human enterprises, as well as on human health. Rapidly accelerating human trade, touris

The aim of this toolkit is to provide a clear, user-friendly guide to the application of economic approaches and tools to invasive species. It addresses the issues associated with identifying the factors which cause the spread of invasives, incorpora

The spread of invasive non-native species presents one of the greatest threats to biodiversity globally: invasive species are the primary driver of biodiversity loss on islands and the second largest everywhere else (CBD ; Millennium Ecosystem Assess
