Abstract
Marine pests are a key threat to Victoria’s marine protected areas and biodiversity. Melbourne’s Port Phillip Bay is a well known location for exotic marine species and Parks Victoria are involved in a project to engage marine stakeholders, including vessel operators, in reducing the risks of spreading marine pests to other parts of the state. This presentation will provide an overview of opportunities being explored.
