Biosecurity on the Channel Islands - Help protect your park.

"Preventing the re-introduction and establishment of nonnative species is vitally important to preserving the nearly 150 endemic plant and animal species of the islands. 

As a visitor, you play a valuable role in helping to protect that biodiversity."


 
"Biosecurity measures are in effect to prevent the introduction of harmful nonnative species. Help protect your park by following these biosecurity protocols before departing for your trip."
"The California Channel Islands are home to unique species, many of which are found nowhere else on Earth. 
 
Unfortunately, they are threatened by the introduction of harmful nonnative species, such as rats, Argentine ants, and weeds. This video provides simple steps that visitors can follow before they depart the mainland to protect the vulnerable island species."
