Travis Sydes managing natural resources in Far North Queensland as part of FNQROC, which represents 10 local governments across the region.

In this podcast he talks about biosecurity issues in the Wet Tropics with a particular focus on Amazon frogbit, an aquarium plant which is infesting local waterways. As Travis says, it is a cruel twist of fate that the features that drive the incredible and unique biodiversity in the Wet Tropics (topography, high rainfall, tropical climate) also make it the perfect habitat for pests and weeds.
