NOAA researchers warn an irreversible rise in lionfish off the East Coast with sightings rising from three in 2000 to 41 in 2002. The invasive species, found in shallow reefs, can sting painfully and is linked to aquarium releases. Scattered encounters have occurred from South Carolina to North Carolina as divers and fishermen are told to avoid contact.
