Impact of Mesquite (Prosopis species) on ecosystems and its bio-security measures in Australia

This assignment is not so much a general review of the literature, though it certainly may include citation of appropriate literature, but needs to be a case study report on a more specific example of a biosecurity issue. It could, for example, be a particular organism e.g. the weed bitou bush and the threat it poses to ecosystems along the New South Wales coast line, or a process that poses a particular plant biosecurity threat e.g. disease risks from the importation of grain into Australia, or an assessment of a risk management protocol at Australian borders, or an analysis of the risks of introducing a particular plant into the country or of a particular pathogen spreading from one country or area to another. The case study may be related to your current or future work. Structure and present the report as if presenting it to a government department. The case study may, therefore, conclude with a series of recommendations. You may also consider it necessary to include appendices of supporting information that doesn’t form part of the 3000 words. The important thing will particularly focus on biosecurity aspects and not simply management or control.
