Sharks are Showing their Worth Again

Off the coast of Honduras the Caribbean Reef sharks are being fed Lionfish in hopes of giving them a taste for the new invasive species. The Lionfish population is growing fast, and until the local predators learn to eat the exotic visitors, the Lionfish will continue to consume the reef’s population of small fish; which are needed to help keep the reef clean and healthy.

Unfortunately the oceans shark population is disappearing fast, and if we don’t stop over-fishing them for fins, food, and trophies we may loose there help forever.
