Biosecurity

The introduction of exotic animal, plant and aquatic pests or diseases could cause significant impact to the environment and industry.

Biosecurity protects the Northern Territory (NT) from serious damage by pests, diseases and weeds.

Important industries in the NT such as cattle, seafood, horticulture and tourism are all vulnerable to biosecurity threats.
