Today, the lionfish is a flourishing invasive species in the Caribbean coastal waters; this predator multiplies quickly causing huge damage to the reef ecosystems and putting in risk the marine life. The Lionfish does not belong to this part of the world, consequently, they are destroying the ecosystems and reefs in which they live. The social and economic impacts of its presence are also significant, as there are many fishing communities that depend on the marine resources. To fight back, locals have been spearfishing the spiky predators. Dive lovers and conservationists hoping to reverse the environmental burden will enjoy learning the techniques to eradicate the Lionfish before joining the hunt. Help us hunt the hunters!
