We have plenty of evidence that the ecology of Hawaii is fragile.

So, what's the upside of introducing GMO, other than making lots more money for Monsanto & its ilk. Please provide sources. And don't tell me it's more efficient production, because the US GMO-crops are not outproducing European non-GMO yields:
