La liste préventive des espèces exotiques envahissantes de Wallis et Futuna a été créée en 2024 par une révision de la règlementation, à la suite d'une prestation d’une biologiste, et de la consultation d’associations et de services du territoire. Elle répertorie 123 espèces absentes du territoire mais présentes dans la région et dont Wallis et Futuna entend se préserver. Le document compile des fiches techniques de reconnaissance et de gestion des 123 espèces figurant sur la liste préventive, relatives aux milieux terrestres, humides et de rivières et marins. Le document détaille également les 6 étapes du plan d'intervention rapide élaboré pour répondre aux introductions d'espèces exotiques envahissantes à Wallis et Futuna : (i) réceptionner le signalement, et collecter les informations; (ii) confirmer l'identification de l'espèce; (iii) améliorer la connaissance sur la répartition de l'espèce; (iv) évaluer la situation et choisir l'option de gestion; (v) élaborer et mettre en place un plan d'intervention et (vi) veiller.

French Polynesia is a veritable oasis of life, thousands of kilometers from the closest continent. The marine biodiversity is not itself exceptional, but the isolation of the Polynesia archipelagos has contributed to protecting resources and maintaining an abundant marine life. The clarity of the water contributes to the approachability of marine species. Observation of cetaceans by tourist operations began in the 1990s, and has now become a major commercial activity in French Polynesia.
