Yesterday we were snorkeling along the edge Prince Rupert Bay in Portsmouth, Dominica and unfortunately ran across 2 lionfish. The lionfish is not from around these waters and are quite a threat to the fishes living on the reefs. They have no known enemies and their reproduction abilities is enormous. They have been spotted and exterminated in a couple areas down here, but when we saw these two yesterday, we were very upset. We'll report our findings to the dive shop here in the bay.
This site will help you to understand what is happening here.

To make matters worse, after we found the 2 lionfish, we came across this turtle head. Turtle hunting is illegal here and I think that it's easy to see that this one didn't die of old age.
