Had the awesome opportunity of tourring and having my photos taken by destination photographer

We visited 3 waterfalls located in Pond Casse, Central. 🏔
Emerald Pool 📍
Jacko Falls 📍
Spanny Falls 📍
While Dominica has a total of 12 accessible waterfalls, we all agreed these were our favourites including “Trafalgar Falls“ because they are the easiest and shortest to hike too. 😅
Sometimes considered the single most damaging invasive species known to science, the lionfish (Pterois miles) is a highly aggressive fish sporting fierce venomous spines. Well established in southern and eastern areas of the Mediterranean Sea, it is now heading west and north towards the Aegean and Ionian seas. The lionfish eats large quantities of small native fish and crustaceans, and its stomach can expand up to 30 times its original volume to accommodate them. Experiences from other parts of the world show how much damage it can do: in the Bahamas, it was responsible for a 65% reduction in its prey biomass in just two years. In the French West Indies, the cost of this invasion is estimated at more than €10m ($10.2m/£8.4m) a year through damage to the fishing and tourism industries. A recent stomach-contents analysis in Mediterranean lionfish revealed that 95% of their prey were ecologically and economically significant native fish.
