Check out a lionfish call, watch our latest PSA, and get ahead with your Christmas shopping!
Hi <<First Name>>,
Welcome back to the LFU Newsletter, with a few corrections! We're doing what we do best - funding research, hunting lionfish, and filming PSAs about how you can get involved in the fight against the lionfish invasion. Plus, have your ever wanted to see a reality TV show about hunting lionfish?
We're also thanking our many talented sponsors, so you can get ahead of the Christmas shopping curve while fighting for the environment!
Martha Watkins Gilkes has accepted the position of Ocean Ambassador. Seen here holding a whopper caught off Half Moon Bay by Alex Fogg.
The invasion is spreading fast - the newest surveys show lionfish from New York to Venezuela.
Please donate to help us fight back. Every little bit counts!
We are pleased to present the first installment of our 4-part PSA series on Lionfish Culling Safety and Good Practices. You are on your way to earning your degree in Lionfish Hunting from Lionfish University!
Never heard a lionfish call?
Here's your chance.
This lionfish call was recorded in the Bahamas with a hydrophone by Dr. Scott Noakes of the University of Georgia. This summer LFU will be helping fund one-of-a-kind research by his daughter Emily Noakes into lionfish mannerisms and how they respond to calls.
That's television!
We were on location in Pensacola with our partners at Coast Watch Alliance in May. We got together with a group of ragtag lionfisher kings and queens to film for our upcoming reality TV show, Hellfish Hunters. Ya gotta eat’em to beat’em.
Events
The legendary Alex Fogg organized a fantastic lionfish derby in Destin, Florida for Lionfish Removal and Awareness Day. Killer B's took first place for largest lionfish att 440mm - that's over 17 inches! Jennifer Day (left) took third place for her 427mm fish. There was over $48,000 in cash prizes up for grabs, so don't miss out on the next one!
The Coast Watch Alliance and Lionfish University were ready to serve fresh lionfish ceviche at the Capitol Hill Ocean Week and NOAA Fish Fry in Washington DC June 5-7. Eat more lionfish!
