It is, at least within my community! In the panhandle, we deal with kudzu and coral adasia a LOT! I know south Florida has pothos all over the place. I’m not positive on any regulations and laws, but within the scope of my job I’ve only seen native plants being scheduled for State landscaping jobs. Additionally, FSU ‘s lands and grounds are sustainably planted, using as many native plants as possible and protecting wildlife and pollinators!

UF/IFAS runs this program that provides expertise on local plants (this link is specific to invasive species information). My mom sends me info for my garden and hers every year! It’s a super helpful resource. There are also programs throughout the state dedicated to habitat restoration, like FNPS.

Most people I talk to are at least aware of our most famous invaders, the brown cuban anole. When I was a kid, green anoles (native) were everywhere. Most Florida residents I've spoken to about it know they've been nearly eradicated by the brown anoles. Many people have discussed the lionfish eradicating life on our reefs as well. There is a lot of pride in Florida's ecosystem among natives, even from some of my more conservative connections. Everyone loves our manatees and gators, too.
