The difficulty in eradicating established invasive alien species in these pristine environments demands a greater emphasis on risk prevention rather than minimization to be urgently adopted in existing management plans. The establishment of an International Antarctic Biosecurity Agency, funded through subscriptions from signatories to the Antarctic Treaty and a visitor levy, would be an essential first step to deliver on the full aspirations of the Madrid Protocol.
