May 23, 2024You Should SPEAR Lionfish to Protect Our Reefs (Ft. REEF’s Madalyn "Moose" Mussey)
Want to save our coral reefs while enjoying a delicious meal? In this episode, we speak with Madalyn "Moose" Mussey from REEF (Reef Environmental Education Foundation). Discover how these beautiful but invasive Lionfish threaten native fish populations and coral reef ecosystems. Learn why spearfishing lionfish is a vital part of the solution, and how you can get involved as a citizen scientist to help protect our reefs. Plus, Moose shares insider tips on safely handling and preparing this delectable catch.

Key Takeaways:
REEF (Reef Environmental Education Foundation) is a grassroots non-profit organization focused on conservation through citizen science, education, and outreach.

Invasive lionfish pose a significant threat to native fish populations and coral reef ecosystems in the Atlantic and Caribbean.

REEF's Volunteer Fish Survey Project allows divers and snorkelers to contribute valuable data about fish populations, which helps inform conservation efforts.

The organization's Invasive Lionfish Program aims to control lionfish populations through derbies, workshops, and promoting lionfish consumption.

Lionfish are venomous, not poisonous, and their spines require careful handling during preparation, but the meat is safe and delicious to eat.

Some native predators, like sharks and groupers, are learning to hunt invasive lionfish, but it's essential to let this process happen naturally without human intervention.

Responsible and respectful fishing practices are crucial for maintaining healthy marine ecosystems and balancing the needs of different stakeholders.

Everyone, from fishermen to divers and the general public, can contribute to reef conservation through citizen science, responsible practices, and supporting organizations like REEF.
