PALM BEACH COUNTY, Fla. - YouReporter Robert Shappell says he found two lionfish in the inlet in West Palm Beach. He also saw others while diving.
Wildlife authorities encourage local divers to capture or kill lionfish, which marine biologists say are gobbling up native species, including members of the Snapper and Grouper families and posing a threat to coral reefs.
