Protect goliath groupers petition
Please help us to keep goliath groupers in the list of protected species by signing the petition!
Goliath grouper
Divers have long enjoyed the company of these, huge, friendly fish, and if taking goliath groupers becomes legal once again, population levels may fall quickly.
The goliath grouper is found primarily in shallow tropical waters among coral and artificial reefs at depths of up to 165 feet (50 m).
Their range includes the Florida Keys, the Bahamas, most of the Caribbean, and practically all of the Brazilian coast, where they are known as mero. On some occasions it is caught in New England off Maine and Massachusetts but it is not that common. In the eastern Atlantic Ocean, it occurs from Congo to Senegal.
They may reach extremely large sizes, growing to lengths of 2.5 m (8.2 feet) and can weigh as much as 363 kg (800 pounds)
