Mesoamerican Reef
Central America’s Mesoamerican Reef is half the length of its famous Australian counterpart but in many ways more remarkable. A Caribbean reef shark samples a Pacific lionfish at Cordelia Banks in Honduras. A few spiny lionfish escaped from an aquarium 20 years ago, and today they’re a plague, preying on the reef’s fish population. Scientists are helping sharks acquire a taste for the invaders by feeding them speared lionfish. Image © Brian Skerry/National Geographic Larger image
