In 2011 a number of volunteers and divers went scuba diving in Florida to remove the greedy lionfish that originate from the South Pacific. The 2011 Florida Keys Lionfish Derby was organised by Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary and Reef Environmental Education Foundation (REEF), and over a series of events throughout the year, 1,500 lionfish were caught. Lionfish have venomous spiky tentacles that are not only used to catch prey but can also be dangerous to fisherman, divers and tourists scuba diving in Florida. They are territorial towards other reef fish and because they have no known predators, they pose a threat to delicate reef systems. By removing the fish, native species are able to grow and balance can be restored to the fragile coral ecosystem in Florida Keys. The non-native species are thought to have found their way into the ocean after being carelessly released into the waters by people who kept them in aquariums during the 1980's.Scuba diving holidays]]> scuba diving destinations]]> Florida]]> http://www.articlesnatch.com/Article/Lionfish-Set-Up-Permanent-Home-In-Florida-s-Waters/3646507 Fri, 10 Feb 2012 05:25:28 -0500 http://www.articlesnatch.com/Article/Lionfish-Set-Up-Permanent-Home-In-Florida-s-Waters/3646507 The city of Perth is as visited by kids as by any other kind of tourist.
