Tilapia only 3km from MDB
• One of worst 100 global invaders
• In 3 catchments; during floods
within 3 km of MDB
• 50% of MDB at risk

Biosecurity Megatrend: Efficiency Era
• Biosecurity investment not
keeping pace with growing
challenges
• Could limit ability to prevent
and respond to new incursions
• Future environmental
biosecurity management at
risk
• Collaborations vital where
resources diminishing and
capability dispersed
