Track then Attack!
These dive boat operators are already supporting our Lionfish Tracker Program by placing our tracking buoys on the reefs where lionfish are spotted marking the reef, then reporting the location on our tracking form. We return to collect the buoy and the lionfish! Keep up the good work!
