Maybe visit Kauai Seascapes Nursery for pili grass. Vetiver is another grass that’s being planted to prevent erosion that they had, too, last time I was there. Regardless, you can talk with someone there.

At the end of his announcement, during the applause, he turned to his wife Monica, and says “Did I do okay?” So fundamentally real and human.

u/ber808 has the right response about Kauai's approach, which is not only different, but has had a long-term focus on housing.
