Northwestern Hawaiian Islands No Longer Safe from Invasive Species

"There's very few invasive or alien species there [in the Northwestern Hawaiian Islands]. That's why this [invasive hookweed algae] is especially disturbing. Finding an invasive algae anywhere is not good news, but especially somewhere we like to characterize as being free from these things." - excerpt from biologist Randy Kosaki, research coordinator for the Northwestern Hawaiian Islands Coral Reef Ecosystem Reserve.
