Often labeled as invasive, it’s important to remember that their spread is largely due to human activities. In man-made <a href="http://ecoreefproject.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">ecoreefs</a>, they can play a role in maintaining ecological balance. #ProtectOurOceans<p>So, the next time you dive into the vibrant world of a man-made<a href="http://ecoreefproject.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> ecoreef</a>, keep an eye out for the exotic Lionfish. And remember, every creature in the ocean plays a vital role in maintaining the health and balance of our planet. Let’s do our part to protect them. #SaveOurSeas<p>Stay tuned for more exciting adventures into the wild blue yonder! 🌊🌍<p>Have you ever seen a lionfish - I have not - If you have, let us know your story.<p>Photograph taken at Maroubra Beach by <a href="http://mikefernandes.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Mike Fernandes</a></div><p><div style="text-align: center"><br /></div><div style="clear: both;text-align: center"><br /></div><br /> <p>
