Lion Eyes- Eat the Enemy (w/REEF Foundation)
Event information
Native to the Indo-Pacific, lionfish are voracious eaters with no known natural predators in the Atlantic and the Caribbean. Spreading rapidly throughout the region, lionfish are consuming both fish and shrimp at unsustainable rates and unmitigated impacts are predicted to be severe.
The good news is that local control can be effective and that lionfish are great to eat: as they say in the Bahamas “eat ‘em to beat ‘em”.
Come enjoy delicious lionfish appetizers and an informational presentation about the lionfish invasion and what control programs are being implemented throughout the region- led by Lad Akins, Director of Reef Environmental Education Foundation, and Alexa Elliott, Producer of the WPBT (PBS) television show ‘Changing Seas’, which won an Emmy Award for their coverage of the issue.
This unique event is being co-sponsored by and held at 15th Street Fisheries, Fort Lauderdale- which was voted South Florida’s best waterfront restaurant in a poll by readers of the Sun-Sentinel newspaper. (http://www.15streetfisheries.com)
