Divers will return to Florida Keys waters next month on a mission: net thousands of dollars in cash and prizes while protecting the environment from invasive lionfish.
This workshop is intended for dive professionals and avid recreational divers interested in obtaining a permit to collect lionfish in the Sanctuary Preservation Areas. We will also cover the history and progression of the invasion, lionfish biology and ecology, safe collecting and handling techniques, and first aid.
Hunt lionfish for cash prizes! Please note that ALL TEAM MEMBERS MUST HAVE THEIR LIABILITY WAIVERS TURNED IN BEFORE OR AT THE CAPTAIN'S MEETING ON MAY 13th.
During the Captain's Meeting, we will cover the basics of lionfish biology and the invasion, safe handling practices, and rules for the derby. It is important to note that ALL TEAM MEMBERS MUST TURN IN LIABILITY WAIVERS BEFORE OR AT THE CAPTAIN'S MEETING.
