In 2010, local dive operators launched a concerted effort to eradicate the invasive, non-indigenous red lionfish ("Pterois volitans"), which appears to be limiting its population around Little Cayman. On Wednesday afternoons, divemasters from the various resorts on Little Cayman embark on a hunt for lionfish to cull the species. Since the hunts began, more grey Caribbean reef sharks ("Carcharhinus perezii") are noticeable on dives. The lionfish are then sent to CCMI for research and after will be given out to restaurants to offer as a daily special.
