Lionfish Invasion, Part 2

by Conch SaladConservation, SciencePosted on Comments are Disabled

What is a Bahamian solution to a dangerous invasive species? Eat ’em.

Lionfish are invading Bahamian reefs at a dangerous rate, threatening native fish stocks and the delicate balance of the marine ecosystem. This documentary looks at one of the Bahamian responses to the invasion.

Part 2 of “The Lionfish Invasion” documents some of the very interesting research and scientific projects being done in the islands. It turns out that there is not very much information about lionfish or the consequences of marine invasive species, so The Bahamas has become a living scientific laboratory.
