Gobiesox woodsi
Overview
A detailed profile for this species is sourced from the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species as assessments become available.
Gobiesox woodsi faces significant pressure from coastal development and habitat modification along its limited range in the Caribbean. The species' restricted distribution makes it particularly vulnerable to localized threats such as pollution, sedimentation from coastal construction, and changes in water quality. Climate change-induced sea level rise and increased storm intensity pose additional risks to the shallow marine habitats this clingfish depends upon.
Habitat
This clingfish species inhabits shallow coastal waters, typically found in rocky intertidal zones and coral reef environments. It prefers areas with complex substrate structure that provides shelter and foraging opportunities in warm Caribbean waters.
