The lionfish has always been a relentless predator. When it lived only in the Indo-Pacific, its ferocity and aggression were contained. But since the species has expanded to the Atlantic, its overpopulation is threatening fellow aquatic creatures. So scientists are developing a robot to hunt the predator, thinking that killing mass numbers of lionfish may be the only way to combat the problem.

Lionfish have become the poster animal for invasive species, and they fit the definition perfectly; they were introduced by humans to the Atlantic Ocean, where they do not belong and could potentially cause significant environmental harm, possibly decimating entire ecosystems. Naturally found in the Indo-Pacific, they were first reported off the Florida coast in the 1980s, and in less than 30 years spread throughout the entire northwestern Atlantic.

Bermuda Ocean Explorers holds monthly 'Diver Invasions' to clean debris, cull lionfish, and get people into and enjoying our ocean ecosystems. While the water conditions weren't great this weekend, the sun was shining and a team of Lionfish Hunters decided to make the long haul from MidOcean Club Beach to John Smith's Bay - the perfect opportunity for me to grab some footage and test out my new production plans to showcase future events and the lionfish hunting community in Bermuda.
