Nearly 500 Lionfish Caught in Grand Prix Event
Guardians of the Reef recently hosted the Bermuda Lionfish Grand Prix, a first in a new series of lionfish culling tournaments to the island where all registration, logging and participation is done online through an innovative angler portal and smartphone app.
Fifteen teams took part in November, with 29 anglers, including both freedivers and divers on SCUBA for this 30-day event. There was no weigh in and wrap party unfortunately, which was a miss compared to events held in the past. In total 472 lionfish were caught.
“While this was not my first time hosting a lionfish culling event, I was nervous and excited to bring forward something new, innovative and timely considering current circumstances with respect to social distancing and safety,” said Weldon Wade, Guardians of the Reef founder and co-founder of the Lionfish Grand Prix event series.
