Cozumel’s last lionfish tournament, which took place, August 25th, removed 1,593 specimens of this voracious predator off our island’s reefs.  According to a 2012 study  by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA),  which has been studying the lionfish problem worldwide, 1,593 lionfish would eat 5 million fish of different species in one year alone.

In addition, lionfish are a delicious, mild flavored source of excellent fillets, which can be prepared in a variety of ways.  For more information on lionfish, recipes, cooking tips, and more, check out the webpage, “Death to Lionfish.
