Goliath Grouper with Sue

Goliath Groupers congregate in Jupiter, Florida every fall and attract many divers to the area to appreciate their majestic presence. They are a protected species but in danger of people being allowed to take them for fishing trophies even though at this size they are not edible. They need our protection.
