First Friday Facebook
Live: Lionfish
Thursday, January 23, 2020 by Jon Kinson
It’s time for another First Friday Facebook Live.
This time Nick and Taylor visited the Armored and Venomous Fishes Exhibit in the Tropical Gallery on Level 1 to discuss lionfish.
Lionfish, which are native to the Pacific and Indian oceans, are invasive species in the Atlantic Ocean and their presence is having environmental and economic consequences worldwide. It is important to understand these consequences and act as oceans stewards to protect and promote the natural diversity of our marine environment.
