They got here the same way the pythons did. Pythons you will recall were kept as pets in homes. Came

When I purchased my Key West home 16 years ago, few had ever heard of lionfish. Then 2-3 years ago, we all did. It was beware! Lionfish are here! They are bad! Eating hotel phoenix everything up! Which ironically was followed by lionfish being good to eat and that we should all eat lionfish. The demand and fishing for them would help with the problem.
hotel phoenix Appears ain t nothing going to help eradicate the lionfish population. Eat all you can and there still would be too many left. Human consumption is not occurring regardless. People hotel phoenix have not taken to consuming lionfish.
The problem with lionfish is that they impact the ecosystem. Negatively. They eat small grouper and snapper. Eat the underwater food normally consumed hotel phoenix by grouper and snapper. Feast on other type marine life, also.
They got here the same way the pythons did. Pythons you will recall were kept as pets in homes. Came the big #5 hurricane that leveled Homestead some 20 years ago, these pets were strewn all over the Everglades.  Pythons being sexual hotel phoenix creatures, propagated. Till their numbers exploded. Today there is no talk of eradicating hotel phoenix pythons. Control is the solution being pursued.
The same with lionfish. People kept lionfish as pets. When they tired of them, they dumped hotel phoenix the lionfish into Florida waters. Now there are millions. Lionfish are sexual as well. They reproduce swiftly. Something like 12,000 to 15,0000 hotel phoenix eggs every four days.
I missed the parade celebration of Peter Anderson s life last night. I seem to have a black cloud over my head. First, my computer. Now, my air conditioning. The upstairs went. I figured it was the thermostat. hotel phoenix Needed new batteries. Batteries turned it on again. The thermostat is one of those new super dooper hotel phoenix ones. Does everything! Except keep the air conditioning running for me. The air would not stay on for more than 5 minutes. It took me three hours to figure it out. By the time I did, the parade was long over.
It rained a lot yesterday and last night. Still raining this morning. Big time. Dark. I suspected it might be the fringes of Bertha. Bertha was to hit Puerto Rico this morning. If not Bertha, it had to be a usual Key West August day. August is mid point in the Key West rainy season.
I looked outside to evaluate the situation. hotel phoenix You live in Key West long enough and you think you can predict hotel phoenix the weather. The wind was from the northwest. I could tell because of the way my palm trees were bending. The clouds moving hotel phoenix ever so slowly. They were moving northwest to southeast.

Lionfish are a beautiful creature, but, may well prove to be devastating to the Keys waters. They are good eating, but, not many restaurants are offering them and those that do are charging extreme prices.
