the concept of invasive species is an interesting one. Think about it...in the beginning, there was nothing. As time passes plants and animals alike distribute. They say people migrated across a land bridge up in alaska.....So to what is now North America, we are invasive. On some new volcanic island rock outcropping in the pacific, some day grass and coconut trees will 'inavde'. I recently learned form a state park ranger in a florida state park (I think it was at Hillsborough River SP) that oaks were not originally in that area at all. Apparently they think squirrels brought them down from GA or someplace. Before that it was monolithic pine forests. So oaks are invasive.....
anyway, I'm starting to think that maybe it's all just part of God's design in a way, that animals and plants distribute, mix, and mingle. It was only inevitable that lion fish would "invade" the reefs in FL. If man didn't do it, then a pair would come riding the ocean currents eventually.
I'm not saying that we shouldn't try to minimize impact or be responsible....it's just an interesting concept...invasive.
Now pardon me, I need to head back out to my front lawn and battle that Chinese torpedo grass that's invading my front lawn......
