For the second edition of the Hawaii Invasive Species Council eNews, the coqui frog is our featured creature. Current estimates indicate there are more than 8,000 coqui-infested acres on the Big Island with much smaller and, fortunately, eradicable populations on Maui, Oahu and Kauai. The work done by residents, agencies and researchers to control this species alone will cost over $4,000,000 this year. Multiple coqui Frog Working Groups and neighborhood Frog Squads work to limit the spread and impacts of this invasive species. To get a picture of these efforts, please take a look at "Hawaii's coqui Frog Research, Management and Education Plan."
