Comment on this resource
This website is the homepage of HEAR, the Hawaiian Ecosystems at Risk Project, whose mission is to provide technology, methods, and information to decision-makers, resource managers, and the general public to aid in the fight against harmful alien species in Hawaii and the Pacific Basin. Users can read about the alien species problem in Hawaii, which includes weeds and frogs; look at several databases of weeds and invasive, harmful, or noxious species, including some material with photographs; participate in an effort to identify mystery plant species; and follow links to associated organizations and to other information.
