                  Lionfish - Pterois volitans 

Vulnerable marine ecosystems already stressed from pollution, over-fishing, human traffic, rising seas, climate change or all of the above now also have this invasive biological threat drastically compounding existing problems.
  • 50-60% reduction in species diversity in many areas 
  • 30% decline in shrimp and lobster harvests
  • Commercial and recreational fish stocks declining
  • Beneath the surface and out of sight of the general public
  • Venomous- danger to divers, snorkelers, tourism
  • Eating everything that will fit in its mouth
  • Has no natural predators
  • Thriving on the continental shelves from the inland brackish shallows to depths of over 1000 feet!
