The non-native Lionfish is infesting the Florida state waters and having a negative impact on reefs and wildlife. Jessica McCawley, director of the FWC's Division of Marine Fisheries Management says, "These fish not only prey on native saltwater species, they also compete for food with economical important specifics such as grouper and snapper."
They are putting out a call to help control the Lionfish. For the month of April, they want you to become a member of the "Lionfish Control Team" by posting a picture of yourself with a lionfish catch and post it in Instagram or Twitter with #FCWLionfish. In return for your efforts you'll receive an official "Lionfish Control Team" T-shirt.
