Harvesting Lionfish

Lionfish are an invasive species in Florida but are gaining popularity as a tasty seafood option. There is a growing market for lionfish, making it possible for divers to earn some money while enjoying the sport. Catching lionfish is straightforward with the right gear, and the regulations for fishing licensing are becoming more relaxed. This trend not only benefits divers but helps control the lionfish population, which poses a threat to local ecosystems.
