Welcome to GVI's community, marine and environmental Conservation programmes blog where you can keep up to date with all the happenings and information from our work in Mexico.
As we have been reporting, Lion Fish are spreading through the Mexican Caribbean. On one of the last dives of last phase, a group of Expedition Members spotted a lion fish at the Gardens Dive site, just off Pez Maya, and one of our regular dive and training sites. This sightings has been reported to the authorities and we will continue to monitor the progress of this invasive species.
Lion fish spotted in Pez Maya
After spending 4 days in Punta Gruesa, Mahahual for the GVI staff training workshop, our 2 Field volunteer coordinators, Mo and Olly, together with Danny and Cynthia from Regional Office were heading out from
They managed to get near it and shot a few pictures of the baby crocodile just before it ran away and hid in the mangroves. They were very happy to see it went back to the mangroves safe away from cars. GVI Mexico staff continued on their way to Playa del Carmen with the eyes wide open in case any other wildlife crossed their path. Tucans, ospreys, snakes, chacha laca birdss, volunteers have all been sighted on the road to Punta Gruesa. Maybe next time they’ll see a jaguar!

Hi Daniel,
We have had 3 lionfish sightings in 2 days. one in Mahahual - from a guest diving with dreamtime, one in placer while snorkeling and one in Tampalam at the shipwreck. Two of them were in shallow water close to shore. Where do we report these?
