Defending the Nurseries: 4-Phase Plan to Restore St. Croix’s Reef Fish

In this episode, we go beneath the surface of our 2026-28 Research Initiative. Learn how the Caribbean Reef Fish Foundation is fighting back against the Lionfish invasion by focusing on nearshore nurseries—the vital 'hospitals' for juvenile native fish. We also discuss the critical need for our new Solar-Powered Facility to ensure our 27+ native species survive the ongoing grid instability and WAPA outages in the USVI. Inside this episode: Why Parrotfish are the reef’s essential 'maintenance crew.' The data-driven approach to ecosystem-based fishery management. Our roadmap to total energy independence for marine restoration.
