Are you thinking about your summer holiday? A ‘staycation’ or travelling somewhere where COVID-19 restrictions allow? You are not the only one facing tough travel choices…the Asian Gypsy Moth (AGM), is also keen to go overseas, though faces bans in a number of countries (see our 35 second video below). May/June to September is the high risk period for this pest and so vessels making port calls in the Asian Pacific need to be ultra-careful and get an AGM free certificate, depending on their next port calls.
