Enhancing Biosecurity Measures for the Trade and Maritime Sectors

This seminar focuses on the reform of biosecurity practices in the trade and maritime industries to address existing threats effectively. It highlights the transition from old inspection methods to new, proactive approaches including pre-arrival assessments, monitoring, tracking, and data analysis. The introduction of new legislation promotes modern risk management strategies, cooperation between sectors, and consultation processes for a more robust biosecurity framework. Regulatory challenges are being tackled through evidence-based, risk-managed protocols, automated processes, and shared responsibilities among stakeholders. The ongoing changes aim to streamline procedures, utilize industry data, and enhance surveillance to target high-risk areas efficiently.
