etc
IF THE ANSWER IS YES TO ANY OF THESE QUESTIONS YOUR TRIP HAS EXTRA RISKS. BE

If your answer to this is no, then your trip should not proceed until you have addressed these
issues.
In Transit to Islands:
We cannot totally eliminate the risk of accidental introduction of invasive species - short of
prohibiting all trips to the islands. However we can minimise the risks. Any non-compliance
with the checklist above means that you personally are putting the flora and fauna of the
islands at an unnecessarily increased level of risk. Please do your bit to help preserve the
conservation values of these islands.
