Cut to just eight minutes in duration, it is <a href="http://bit.ly/PLypiQ" target="_self" rel="noopener">a narrated walk</a> along 5 km of Ishigaki island coastline, describing the grasses encountered and showing the ecological setting in which these grasses grow naturally. </p> <p style="text-align: left;"> Ishigaki has <a href="http://bit.ly/INuLx6" target="_self" rel="noopener">a climate very similar to that of Hainan Island</a> in southern China. Seashore paspalum is overused there (and elsewhere in Asia), despite its high cost of maintenance and well-known&#0160;<a href="http://bit.ly/PLBTSl" target="_self" rel="noopener">propensity to be completely overtaken by bermudagrass and manilagrass</a>. <a href="http://bit.ly/PLypiQ" target="_self" rel="noopener">In this video</a>, you can <a href="http://bit.ly/PLypiQ" target="_self" rel="noopener">see for yourself why that is</a>, and learn what grass is sure to perform much better in Southeast Asia.&#0160; </p>
