  "Someone in the field"? I'm sorry but an anonymous comment on good reads, should not hold the same weight as a book that references academic papers. In any case it isn't as black and white as "Invasive = Bad" one doesn't need to look far for that evidence. https://www.semanticscholar.org/paper/The-potential-conservation-value-of-non-native-Schlaepfer-Sax/cc23d465380f3cc90b82493328f7c69697ee439c https://www.semanticscholar.org/paper/The-potential-conserva... https://spartina.org/project_documents/revegetation_program/CLRA%20Report%202012.pdf https://spartina.org/project_documents/revegetation_program/...

    I'm not really commenting on the thesis of the book, but pointing out what seemed like a valid criticism of the book overall. After skimming a few articles on the subject [1] it seem like the reviewer is not out of line with scientific consensus on the example he points out.
