https://www.planetary-heroes.com Planetary Heroes are a dedicated group who are passionate about saving this planet. We are the voice for the voiceless, to preserve our natural ecosystems, and spread awareness about how everyone can be a hero for this beautiful planet we have been gifted to live on. But our coral reefs are under threat and countless factors contribute to their current state: industrial runoff chemicals in sunscreen (benzene) littering uneducated divers ... and that is just to name a few. But the main threat that is growing exponentially, on track to completely annihilate the reef, is the Lionfish. The venomous Lionfish has no natural predators, meaning they can reproduce exponentially. They prey upon any fish they can catch - including native reef fish. Without interference, they will decimate the entire population of reef fish. Capable of reproducing throughout the year, the largest lionfish can produce up to 42,000 eggs as frequently as once every 3 days. Fertilized egg masses float to the surface where they hatch and disperse via surface ocean currents. A female Lionfish releases up to two million eggs each year and has an average lifespan of 15 years. Eating all the fish native to coral reefs, they are decimating the ecosystem and depleting a vital oxygen source for our planet. Eat a Lionfish and save the planet!
