Invasive species website

The issue with mangroves in Hawaii is that our native ecosystems did not evolve along with mangroves. So in most other tropical places mangroves are essential to healthy near shore ecosystems, but in Hawaii they are killers of the native near shore ecosystem.

A "weed" is a plant out of place, in Hawaii Mangroves are weeds, no matter how important and helpful they are in other places.
