Ascension island
Biosecurity In 2017 a biosecurity gap analysis (PDF) was completed. Biosecurity capacity is generally low, and particularly weak for pre-border and border controls. A biosecurity review was carried out for Ascension Island in 2016, which included a detailed pathway analysis.
South Georgia & the South Sandwich Islands
Biosecurity SGSSI has the highest capacity in biosecurity of all the OTs and its Government invests in stringent biosecurity requirements to help protect the Territory from non-native invasive species, conducting hundreds of biosecurity checks on cargo each year.
Guidance for Local Nature Recovery Strategies and Biodiversity Net Gain projects
Work should be undertaken in a biosecure manner. Landscaping and soil movement should consider the risk of spreading propagules. Staff, contractors and volunteers involved in the project should be made aware of ‘ check, clean, dry’ and have access to biosecurity facilities such as washdown areas, pressure washers and boot cleaning stations.

Anguilla
Biosecurity In 2017 a biosecurity gap analysis (PDF) was completed. Generally biosecurity capacity is low. Risk analysis is done on an ad-hoc basis. Biosecurity border operations are carried out by customs officers, and awareness training has been given.
Vertebrates
The toolkit provides guidance on eradication and biosecurity for invasive non-native rodents, but not actions to further promote wider island restoration or ecosystem recovery. It currently does not provide advice on eradication/ biosecurity for other invasive non-native vertebrates aside from invasive rodent species.
