We are a founding member of SPREP's Pacific Regional Invasive Species Management Support Service (PRISMSS), and co-lead the Protect Our Islands programme with colleagues at SPC. Our role is to provide support to prevent the arrival, establishment and spread of invasive species, and to provide a liaison point to other experts.

​Two main areas we focus on are the implementation of:

1. Early Detection and Rapid Response capability throughout the Pacific - both to prevent the introduction of populations of new invasive species to countries, and to prevent the domestic spread of these populations to destinations.
2. The clean boats, clean ports framework - actions around  the main international entry points to stop the spread of invasive species to other islands within the country.

Until 2024 PRISMSS partners will be working on many initiatives with Republic of Marshall Islands, Niue, Tonga and Tuvalu through a Global Environment Facility funded regional invasives project  (GEF 6 RIP) implemented by UNEP and executed by SPREP.

PRISMSS partners are also implementing projects supported by other donors, including the New Zealand Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
