"An explosion in the population of the predatory lionfish in Caribbean waters, where it has no natural predators, is posing a widespread threat to marine wildlife."
"No invasive tropical fish species has ever survived so successfully outside its own home ecosystem like this"
-Dr. Carrie Manfrino
"One study in the Bahamas showed that lionfish reduced native species populations on one reef by almost 80%."
"...they should not be here in the Caribbean."
"These fish are like Godzilla"
-Peter Hillenbrand
