Secretariat of the Pacific Regional Environment Programme

2023
The clean boats, clean ports framework is a Pacific Regional Invasive Species Management Support Service (PRISMSS) Protect our Islands (POI) initiative to enable countries to better secure international entry ports that are gateways to priority domestic destinations. This Battler Series publication supports the prevention of the spread of invasive species among islands within countries. The document outlines a flexible framework that recognises the diverse situations in Pacific island countries and territories and that capitalises on existing strengths, while highlighting achievable and aspirational targets. This publication is part of a collection of Battler guides on preventing the spread of invasive species in the Pacific region. For an introduction, read the Battler publications Protect our islands with biosecurity and Catch it early: invasive species early detection and rapid response. This guide is targeted for decision-makers prioritising improvements to prevent invasive species arriving, establishing, and spreading, to guide the implementation of targeted enhancements. The guide aligns with many aspects of the regional Guidelines and particularly C1. Biosecurity – Preventing the spread of invasive species across international or internal borders.
