A partnership to improve marine biosecurity
The Top of the South Marine Biosecurity Partnership was formed in 2009 to improve marine biosecurity management in the top of the south – the coastal areas administered by the Nelson City Council and the Marlborough and Tasman District Councils.
A strategic plan guides this partnership, one that identifies actions the partners can take to prevent the introduction and spread of damaging pests and diseases.

- the Ministry for Primary Industries (MPI)
