Strengths:
- Helps lower the lionfish population
- Gives people something to do (entertainment)
- A new source of food

Weaknesses:
- Still to many fish
- They repopulate to quickly to fish them all away]]> 2018-03-15 18:06:55 UTC https://padlet.com/madeline_brangers/tktdt6lwgbmt/wish/242527661 madeline_brangers https://padlet.com/madeline_brangers/tktdt6lwgbmt/wish/242533391 To help with the lionfish invasion scientist want to start to educate the public about the risk of these predators and releasing them into the ocean.

Strengths: 
- Helps people understand the risk
- Might help people stop releasing their fish into the ocean
- Might encourage people to report lionfish sightings

Weaknesses:
- Doesnt force people to help with the cause
- Might not convince them that this is an issue that needs help]]> 2018-03-15 18:15:58 UTC https://padlet.com/madeline_brangers/tktdt6lwgbmt/wish/242533391 madeline_brangers https://padlet.com/madeline_brangers/tktdt6lwgbmt/wish/242533427 Bermuda's approch is to enforce strict ban on the import of live fish. 

Strengths:
- Will reduce the risk of releasing aquarium fish
- will lower the number of invasive spiesies released into the ocean

Weaknesses: 
- The issue is bigger than just limiting fish imports
- We need to learn how these spiecies diverse once they get into the water]]> 2018-03-15 18:16:01 UTC https://padlet.com/madeline_brangers/tktdt6lwgbmt/wish/242533427 madeline_brangers https://padlet.com/madeline_brangers/tktdt6lwgbmt/wish/243623437 To try to lower the lionfish population a group of scientist wants to build a robtic zapper that goes into the ocean and kills them.

Strengths:
- Might help lower the population
- Will 🤬 lots of lionfish
- Lionfish wont know that it is a threat making it easier to get close to them

Weaknesses:
- Might shock and 🤬 other fish
- Expensive
- Is big in size
- Not going to lower the linofish population unless you have lots and lots of them
- Need to be close to be able to zap them]]> 2018-03-19 16:50:50 UTC https://padlet.com/madeline_brangers/tktdt6lwgbmt/wish/243623437
