Annual Biosecurity Review 25/26 and release of new Standard Operating Procedures

South Georgia & the South Sandwich Islands are recognised globally for their exceptional wildlife and relatively undisturbed ecosystems. The Territory supports vast populations of seabirds and marine mammals that depend on a healthy, intact environment. However, island ecosystems are particularly vulnerable: the introduction of a single non-native species, pest, or disease can cause long-term or irreversible damage.
