HOW TO RESPECT and PROTECT GOLIATH GROUPERS
Goliath Groupers are important predators and are considered a key-stone species because they maintain a balanced ecosystem by controlling mid-level predator populations, such as the invasive Lionfish. Protect their habitat – don’t catch them, don’t pollute the ocean with plastic and chemicals. Don’t pollute the atmosphere with fossil fuels.
