Cyprus on front line against fish invasion

KONNOS BAY, Cyprus - Equipped with harpoons and waterproof notebooks, Louis, Carlos and Antonis dive deep into the crystal clear waters of Konnos Bay on a mission to capture predatory lionfish.

After colonizing parts of the Atlantic on the east coast of the United States and the Caribbean, lionfish are now invading the Mediterranean.

After two dives, the marine biologists from the Enalia Physis Environmental Research Center surface with nearly 20 brown-and-white striped specimens.
