"Underwater Photographer and Goliath Grouper" The largest grouper in the Western Hemisphere, the Goliath is endangered and protected due to excessive commercial and recreational fishing. It has reestablished itself in Southeast Florida and is a major draw for divers and tiny minnows, which surround it for protection against smaller predators like barracuda and snapper.
