This just in from Kent. Big happenings over in Bimini, the guys got the lionfish's number and want to punch it.
The first lionfish I ever saw in the Atlantic was under two miles north of this spot on North Bimini almost two years ago (see below). It was followed by way too many more. No known natural predators in the Atlantic, as of yet uncertain impact on existing fish stocks, juvenile snapper and grouper, etc.. Lionfish are super common in the family islands now, wonder what is now less common as a result? Why not try to give the Atlantic waters back to native Atlantic species? Worth a try.
Volatins poaching way out of Pacific waters in a foreign sea, our Atlantic. Not good.
