Diving that Counts!
Greeting REEF Friends and Lionfish Enthusiasts!
We are excited to announce four upcoming Lionfish Handling Workshops in South Florida during October! Please join us during these free workshops to learn more about the lionfish invasion, lionfish biology, ecological impacts, collecting and handling tools and techniques, and first aid for stings. Following the workshop, there will be two half days of lionfish dives for you to watch underwater demonstrations and practice your new skills. Participants will also have the opportunity to obtain their permit for collecting lionfish within the Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary no-take zones (SPAs). You can register for the workshop at Lionfish Workshops | Reef Environmental Education Foundation (REEF) and you can book your dives directly with the dive operators at the contact information listed below. Spaces are limited and will fill quickly, so register early!
