Save the Caribbean reefs! Control the lionfish population in the Caribbean/Atlantic.

  • by: Matthias Calderon
  • recipient: The American and Caribbean diving community, the indigenous population on the Caribbean coast of Panama.

Beautiful, exotic and with a voracious appetite the lionfish is an invasive specie in the Atlantic Ocean. Lionfish are able to wipe out a whole reef; they can decrease the population of fish in a reef by 80% and are eating the juvenile fish of many important commercial species such as grouper and snapper. If we don't start working towards finding a solution now then this invasion will get much bigger and worse; it will affect the marine ecosystem in a negative way, will create a dent in our economy and will cause for many people to lose their jobs. Tell dive centers to start selling lionfish before it's too late!!!
