  • Crash Boat Beach, in Puerto Rico's northwest, sustained significant damage during hurricanes Maria and Irma in 2017. These dock pilings were bent right over, destroying the marina, and the life that was living on them, including large sponges and anemonies, were killed. In 2020 they are just beginning to come back.

  • Propeller scars, like these in the Florida Keys, are a result of careless boating in shallow seagrass beds. Propellers can cut past the roots of seagrass and inflict long-term damage to the meadow.

  • The Guajataca dam in northern Puerto Rico was severely damaged by the 2017 hurricanes. By all accounts it was very close to collapsing completely which would have flooded some 70,000 people. At the time, all 70,000 were advised to evacuate. Emergency repairs kept the worst from happening, but 10,000 residents and farmers have since struggled with water management.

  • A propeller scar runs through a seagrass (Thalassia testudinum) meadow in The Bahamas. The prop scar is caused by a boat's propeller digging up the root structure of the underwater plant.

  • Propeller scars are caused by boats going into water that is too shallow for their propellers. A minor scar can heal quickly, but a deep scar that tears up the roots can erode into major divisions of the habitat.

  • While a fairly minor concern individually, together the invasive species is spreading virus-like throughout the Atlantic Ocean including the Gulf of Mexico, Caribbean Sea and the Mediterranean Sea, wreaking havoc on reef ecosystems throughout the region.

  • While the exact source of the lionfish invasion is not known, the aquarium trade is the most likely vector.

  • Some places, like the gulf side of northern Florida, have especially high densities of lionfish that can sustain an entire commercial fishery.

  • A lionfish is fed to a shark. It was once thought that you could teach predators like this Caribbean reef shark to eat lionfish, but there is no evidence any efforts have been working. Sharks tend to hunt weak or dying animals and actually help fish populations beneath them thrive.

  • Seagrass is often found in sheltered bays and harbors - perfect places to anchor or moor a boat which in turn damages the seagrass meadows.
