Lion Fish have been seen recently by divers off the East Coast of the U.S. from Florida to South Carolina. This may be due to the recent warming of the Atlantic Ocean Currents and their migration from the Caribbean. In any event it doesn't bode well for small native Atlantic species. During the warm months, Lion Fish may some day reach the Hudson Canyon outside of NYC, if they haven't already.
