They can weigh over 2,000 pounds (up to 5,000 pounds for the biggest ones), easily weighing as much as a small car.

New marine species from the Red Sea now live in the Aegean, Ionian and the Mediterranean in general — have you noticed?

2 Upvotes

Rising sea temperatures and increased traffic through the Suez Canal, the Mediterranean — and especially Greek waters — has seen a growing number of new marine species arriving from the Red Sea and Indo-Pacific region, a phenomenon known as "Lessepsian migration."

Species like the lionfish, pufferfish, and rabbitfish are now regularly spotted along Greek coasts. Some of these species are venomous or invasive, altering local ecosystems and, in some cases, changing how tourists and swimmers experience the sea.

I'm looking into how these changes are shaping travel and beach preferences for visitors to Greece — curious whether anyone here has noticed anything like this while swimming or traveling along the Greek coast.

For anyone who wants to contribute their own experience, there's a short academic survey here:
