The Belize Lionfish Project

The spread of lionfish throughout the Atlantic Ocean, Caribbean Sea and Belize is being monitored by ECOMAR and our partners. In
December 2008 after the first lionfish was observed in Belize, ECOMAR
raised the alarm and in partnership with the Belize Fisheries Department
began educating stakeholders by distributing Lionfish Toolkits that
included posters, dip nets and fact sheets. In 2010
ECOMAR partnered with COMPACT and GCFI to increase project activities
and to reach a wider audience. In 2011 ECOMAR continued its outreach
campaign with the production of many materials with one common message,
"Eat Lionfish!"
