Lionfish Caribbean Cup
The Lionfish Caribbean Cup is a regional conservation-focused fishing tournament that brings together divers, fishermen, and marine advocates from across the Caribbean to combat the spread of invasive lionfish. Organized by Lionfish Caribbean, the event encourages participants to remove as many lionfish as possible from local reefs while raising awareness about the ecological threat these predators pose to native fish populations.
Teams compete to harvest lionfish through spearfishing and diving while following strict safety and conservation guidelines. In addition to the competition, the event typically includes educational presentations, cooking demonstrations, and community gatherings that highlight the growing movement to turn lionfish into a sustainable seafood resource.
By combining sport, science, and community action, the Lionfish Caribbean Cup supports reef protection efforts and promotes responsible stewardship of Caribbean marine ecosystems.
