We wrote an article about the coconut palm, which is the symbol for the south seas, but unfortunately a big eco-disaster. Palm trees are not even endemic here, but were introduced and are replacing the natural vegetation (and habitat for birds). We couldn’t find a magazine for this topic at first as it’s not exactly a sailing topic. Now an Austrian newspaper (OOE Nachrichten) got interested and will publish it on Saturday Dec. 7 in their travel section.
