Abstract

The incidence and impact of biological invasions are increasing with the effects of climate change and globalization. Apart from the problems that invasive species cause as pests in agricultural and native ecosystems, they impact directly or indirectly on all aspects of food security. Climate change is predicted to increase the vulnerability of Small Island Developing States (SIDS), causing a range of effects on the biology and ecology of invasive species and on invasion pathways. Combating the potential or existing harmful effects of invasive species requires a multipronged response involving the entire food production industry, policymakers, government agencies, local communities, regional cooperation, international trade agreements, and research organizations. The management measures available are described under three categories—prevention, containment, and control—and the need for a sustainable, integrated approach is emphasized. Case studies are taken from the Caribbean and Pacific groups of SIDS, highlighting opportunities for and threats to good practice.
