     Brazil pays $10 per lionfish as nearly 500 invasive fish are removed

     To combat the lionfish invasion threatening local ecosystems, Porto Seguro rewards ten dollars for each fish caught. Within a month, almost five hundred lionfish have been successfully removed from the waters. Local authorities are taking significant steps to manage their population before it spirals out of control. Additionally, research initiatives are being launched to explore the invasion's ecological impact on the region's coastlines.
