  • Scuba Divers Can Help Keys' Ocean Ecosystem During REEF's Upper
    12/16/2020 Scuba Divers Can Help Keys’ Ocean Ecosystem during REEF’s Upper Keys Lionfish Derby | Scuba Diving Log In Scuba Divers Can Help Keys’ Ocean Ecosystem during REEF’s Upper Keys Lionfish Derby COURTESY FLORIDA KEYS AND KEY WEST AUGUST 20, 2020 Divers can help preserve the Florida Keys’ native reef fish populations during the fun, socially distanced Reef Environmental Education Foundation 2020 Lionfish Derby. Scheduled Thursday through Sunday, Sept. 10-13, the derby challenges participants to capture and remove as many non-native lionfish as possible from Keys waters. This year, COVID-19 restrictions have forced organizers of the annual competition to modify the derby to minimize potential exposure to or spread of the virus. However, divers are to have two full days to capture lionfish and maximize their effectiveness in the removal of this invasive predator from Keys reefs. Divers vie for prize money including first- through third-place awards for capturing the most lionfish, the largest and the smallest. New this year are two divisions in the “most lionfish” category: Reef Defenders and Apex Predators. The latter is the more competitive and prize monies are higher. During early-bird registration on or before Aug. 30, teams of two to four people can register online for only $50 per team. Registrations on or before Sept. 6 are $75 per team and late registrations by the final deadline of 4 p.m. Sept 10 are $100 per team. All registrants receive a 2020 Lionfish Derby rash guard. The first 40 paid participants also receive a derby hat.
