EDITORS COMMENTS
Meet the Beach Naupaka: The Unstoppable Invader of Paradise Islands!". In this print by Don Hadden, we are introduced to DH-3704, also known as the Beach Naupaka or Cabbage Bush. Native to various regions including South Eastern Asia, East Africa, Australia, and the Pacific Islands (yes, including Hawaii!), this seemingly innocent plant has a mischievous side. Considered an invasive weed in many areas like the stunning Cocos (Keeling) Islands where our photographer snapped this shot, the Beach Naupaka is a force to be reckoned with. It grows at an astonishing rate and forms dense stands that make eradication efforts nearly impossible. Talk about tenacity! Not only does it challenge native beach vegetation for space and resources but its highly salt-tolerant nature allows it to thrive in coastal environments. This white-flowered marine marvel has become quite infamous for causing environmental damage wherever it goes. But let's not hold all its invasiveness against it! After all, every ecosystem needs a troublemaker or two. So next time you're strolling along a tropical island shoreline and spot these resilient invaders taking over the scene, give them a nod of respect for their sheer determination – just don't let them hear you cheering them on!
