The Plant Surveillance Network allows those working in all aspects of surveillance for plant pests to access and share information. The network was established to strengthen surveillance capacity and capability across the Australasia-Pacific region.
Join the networkPlant pest surveillance activities are critical to productive agricultural sector and the biosecurity systems that protect them. Surveillance activities provide benefits to agricultural industries, the community and the environment.
Read moreThe National Plant Biosecurity Surveillance Professional Development and Protocols Projects are coordinated and delivered by Plant Health Australia and are funded by the Department of Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry. The objectives of the Projects are to enhance and strengthen Australia’s surveillance capacity and capability to identify priority plant pests that impact on plant industries, environment and the community.
The collaborative surveillance activities enabled by PSNAP will not only lead to better outcomes but will also enable surveillance stakeholders to identify capacity gaps and work together to resolve them.
Paco TovarQuality surveillance data begins with quality sampling. Advances in mechatronics and data solutions integrated with diagnostics is improving metadata and traceability to our surveillance outputs.
Rohan KimberPSNAP not only enables us to connect with our peers in surveillance across the plant industry community, it also facilitates the exchange of ideas, inspires innovative thinking, and opens doors to new opportunities.
Shakira JohnsonPSNAP is an important platform for connecting our citrus industry exotic pest surveillance program, CitrusWatch, with other surveillance programs throughout Australia. This helps us learn from other programs and reduce duplication of survey activities.
Dr Jessica LyeIt is important to have mechanisms in place to allow consistent, robust and sustainable plant biosecurity surveillance systems that identify and coordinate surveillance priorities and activities within the plant industries, government, environment/community.
