Not just Cozumel - This session will cover more of the most commonly seen fish in the Tropical Western Atlantic region and will show you how to ID them. It is not necessary to have attended the first session of this series, "Cozumel's Dirty Dozen" - so come anyway and join in the fun!

Reef Environmental Education Foundation (REEF) in partnership with Miami-Dade County Sea Grant Extension will be organizing a series of lionfish workshops open to the public for the Southeast Florida area. These workshops cover the history of the invasion, lionfish biology/ ecology/ impacts, how to safely collect and handle lionfish, lionfish venomology and first aid for stings, and recommended techniques for filleting lionfish.
