From the Gorges Crab in 1898 to the Devil Fire fish in 2011 the Mediterranean is teeming with life, life that is supposed to be thousands of miles away.
Invasive species are popping up in the Mediterranean from oceans around the world, including dangerous species such as the Cardinal blowfish whose poison can cause paralyses. Some species are not directly dangerous like the rabbit fish which eats algae. Harmless right? Wrong, it reproduces like, you guessed it, a rabbit. Schools of it eats all the algae in a very large area and destroys the habitat. Researchers have identified the expansion of the Suez Canal as the problem.
For the underwater photography industry “it is a present” but scientists think that soon the Mediterranean will have a new habitat and that all it’s old creatures will become extinct from the area. Also it will not be a popular tourist destination anymore.
