Removal


Reef Monitoring invites all divers to join in the removal and research of Lionfish (Pterois volitans) out of the Gulf of Mexico during a two-day event in September!

On Saturday Sept. 6th, head out into the Gulf for the FULL DAY to catch as many lionfish as you can! There is no North/South boundary and no time limit! Leave as early as you want and come back as late as you want! The only requirement is that you fish in the Gulf of Mexico. Please, no East Coast lionfish for this event!

*** ALL LIONFISH MUST BE ICED AND IN FOOD GRADE CONDITION ***

Any lionfish not iced properly will be disqualified. Fish do not need to be gutted as we are removing the stomach contents for analysis. So no filling them with lead either!

How Much: $20- includes t-shirt, shears and meal, raffle tickets, give-a-ways

Payout:  Cash prizes! Raffle prizes including SCUBA gear,  gift certificates, resort packages

RESEARCH
While we are doing our best to eradicate them, research is still at the heart of everything that Reef Monitoring does. So this event will not simply be a search and destroy. Reef Monitoring will also use every specimen collected to further our research.
