Restoring Island Resilience: Why is managing invasive species a key climate adaptation approach for the Pacific?

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.
