Lion Fish
Check out the lion fish! Lion fish are not native to this area and are becoming a problem. They are an invasive species and are threatening the native fish in the Bahamas. They have venomous dorsal spines and have no natural enemies. We did see several of them at the reefs we were studying.

Wow !! You are getting some pretty snazzy photos. This is so cool!
Bridget,
Hello! I hope you are having a great adventure. Are the scientist doing anything with the lion fish...since they are not native? I know that in some regions people "get rid of" the fish if they come across them.
