Summary
The project will support the Pitcairn and Tristan da Cunha Governments to collaboratively strengthen biosecurity capacity in their Territories and thus enhance the protection of their natural-resource dependent economies and World Heritage Sites from invasive alien species. Recognising capacity constraints, we will focus on; strengthening ‘pre-border’ iosecurity in the gateway ports to both Territories, developing and passing appropriate local biosecurity policies, and working with the key vessel operators to ensure biosecurity improvements are owned and embedded for the long-term.
