Northeast Florida Lionfish Blast Tournament

http://www.northeastfloridalionfishblast.com

Lionfish are trying to take over the Atlantic Ocean, let’s take it back! Our waters here in North Florida are no exception. With no natural predators it is up to us to keep the marine ecosystem in balance. The goal of this tournament is to raise awareness in our fishing community about the lionfish invasion and have a good time doing it. We are teaming up with local and national organizations to remove as many of these parasites as possible in a one month span. Please help us be part of the solution and put an end to overpopulation!

Proceeds from this tournament will go to TIRISI Corp, a company dedicated to improving our coastal environments through the efforts of marine habitat creation, conservation, education, and awareness.
