The invasive Lionfish spreads to the temperate coral reefs off the Carolinas
The unique hard bottom reefs off the Carolina coast are home to a delicately balanced coral reef system. Since they were released in Florida in the 1980's, the invasive species Asian Lionfish has spread north, eating the native species and collapsing the reef food web. Marine ecologists are using systems thinking to make predictions about the future and what to do about the invasion.
