I LOVE what Cozumel is attempting, and belive it's the best choice of action. Groupers are known to eat lionfish, but in the Virgin Islands, they don't know it YET. Presently, we are supporting an organization known as CORE, (Caribbean Oceanic Restoration and Education) and professionally and safely marking all lionfish, then sending trained divers to kill. The fish are then dna tested and disected to see what they are eating. So far, so good! We were prepared and ready for them to come and have a plan in action. The data collected is being well used, but eventually, will be enough. Training our groupers, eels, sharks, etc, is an excellent idea. LOVE the endangered comment too. Tell the locals they are good eating, and there will be no problem'mon!!! They'll get rid of them quicker than they did the groupers (which are still on the endangered list). To sit back and do nothing is stupid. They do not belong here, yet they are. Eventually (but not in our life time) it will all work out. Our reefs are too important to us to do nothing!
