Hay un intenso debate sobre qué se debe hacer con los coquies boricuas que han "invadido" el ecosistema de Hawaii. ¿Cual es tu opinión? Hay personas que establecen que el coquí tendra un impacto negativo en el turismo y los ecosistemas de Hawaii, y proponen su exterminación con agentes químicos y parásitos. Otros abogan que el coquí llegó para quedarse. Hay inclusive un tercer grupo que sugiere que los coquies deben ser atrapados y traidos de vuelta a Puerto Rico.
