Record Turnout Sets New Standard in Florida Lionfish Challenge
Original: Record participation in the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission’s annual Lionfish Challenge resulted in a new standard for the competition.
Florida's annual Lionfish Challenge, run by the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission, drew record participation this year, setting a new benchmark for the competition. The event encourages divers and anglers to remove invasive lionfish from state waters, and the surge in entrants means more of the destructive species were taken out of the ecosystem than ever before.
Why now: Record participation in the annual invasive-species removal competition has set a new standard, drawing attention to efforts against lionfish.
