Summary

Biodiversity in the five Caribbean UK Overseas Territories (UKOTs) is globally significant and increasingly threatened by the impacts of invasive non-native species (INNS). Preventing the arrival of INNS is the best defence to mitigate their impact on native biodiversity. This project will strengthen at-border biosecurity in all 5 Caribbean UKOTs by inhancing biosecurity legislation, increasing effective inter-agency working, improving at-border biosecurity infrastructure and facilities and increasing in-territory agency capacity, improving regional capacity to prevent and respond to INNS incursions.
