    many of you just don't get how much trouble florida is in with its invasives. i strongly feel that ALL must be erridacted. there are just too many and we are begining to lose natrual ecosystmes. we finally have a group working on restoring the everglades and they are finally working in the right direction. there will be changes to water flow and, hopefully changes in species management.

    i strongly suggest that those you that wish to comment on such subjects actually educate yourselves on FLORIDA invsavies and not invasives elsewhere. there is a difference and they cannot be compared. PERIOD END!!!!!!!!
    Do you realize that Burmese do not even fit the legal definition of a Invasive Species? Nor have they demonstrated the "invasive behavior" that characterizes many native species.

    I dont think anyone knows what effect exactly they will have had on the ecology of the region. I dont think it will be as dire some people are making it out to be. Will they really be responsible for the extinction of endangered species that are already on their way out?

    You just keep saying how Florida is so different and how those of us that are skeptical of your grand claim (that each and every non-native and/or invasive that ended up in Florida needs eradicated at all costs) need to get educated but you did not address any of the issues I've brought up. I'm not saying that invasives are never a problem.....I'm just saying that the analysis needs to be a little more subtle than "invasives are evil" so lets declare widespread war on them.
