The 1st Annual Cape Lookout Lionfish Rodeo, will be a collaborative effort
between REEF, Discovery Diving Company Center, NOAA's Beaufort lab and the
North Carolina Aquarium to implement awareness and training programs and to
gather lionfish specimens for use in scientific research. Ongoing, monthly
efforts will continue this awareness, training and collection program
throughout the NC diving season.
These programs will include:
- An evening awareness and training seminar prior to each monthly
collection effort.
- Organized collection dives at 2 wreck sites and 2 ledges each month.
- Lionfish Cook-out and Rodeo competition at the culmination of each
project (most fish, largest fish, smallest fish).
The Rodeo kicks off May 18-19 with pre-event seminars on May 17. A program
package fee of $350.00 will include charter, seminar, optional lodging, and
funding to support organizational staff.
