Ecosystem is a system formed by the interaction of all living organisms with each other and with the physical elements of the environment. The vulnerability of an ecosystem can be determined through the examination of its location‚ biodiversity‚ extent and linkages. The vulnerability of the ecosystem is closely linked with the effectiveness of the functioning and the diversity of the ecosystem. The resilience of an ecosystem is also important when looking at the survival of ecosystems. Resilience

Scientists are rushing to stop the harmful spread of the lionfish before the lionfish inflict too much damage on the delicate ecosystems. The venomous lionfish‚ an invasive species‚ has unique physical features that do not stop people from desperately trying to remove them from the Gulf of Mexico’s waters. To
