Vanuatu developing biosecurity response plan
Vanuatu's Director of Biosecurity said the country must be prepared to activate a response plan because it was surrounded by threats of unwanted pests and diseases.
Mr Tumukon cited Australia, with a range of serious pests and diseases, such as fruit fly in Queensland. He said an incursion of a new pest or disease requires a proper assessment as to whether to activate an eradication or containment plan - this is where the Emergency Response Plan comes in.
