Develop a Biosecurity Plan for the Phoenix Islands Protected Area (PIPA), the world's largest marine protected area, to address pest invasions through illegal boat landings, shipwrecks and visitors. The Government of Kiribati will take the lead role to raise awareness and define quarantine standards for visitors to protect this protected area from invasive species. The PIPA has been nominated as a World Heritage site because of its significant natural heritage values.

Strategic Direction: 1 Prevent, control, and eradicate invasive species in key biodiversity areas
