Spread the word 

 We want all boaties and water users to be aware of marine pests and the damage they can do.
​If you are a marina operator, a boat club, a service provider or simply interested in protecting our coastlines, you can probably help.

4. Share marine biosecurity videos!

We have set up a video library that is all about marine biosecurity - sharing our videos is a great way to spread the word. 

We want all boaties to check and clean their boats before they travel. But it's not only about marine pests! 

• Just like marine pests can hitchhike on our hulls and underwater fittings,​rats, mice, ants and other pests can also travel on our vessels with us when we visit pristine islands and far away places 
• Dogs and cats sailing with us can cause damage when they go ashore. Check the requirements when you plan your voyage and don't take them to island reserves. 
• Check and clean footwear to remove soil and seeds.
