A Turning Point

Invasive Lionfish

The Indo-Pacific lionfish is an invasive species in the Atlantic Ocean & Caribbean Sea. Lionfish are predators with a voracious appetite, no natural predators, and a rapid rate of reproduction. They are destroying the natural balance of the reefs by over consuming reef fish and juveniles, threatening marine life and the reef itself.

The "Purse Trap" is a non-containment, no bait, trap that catches Lionfish with very little by-catch. The Lionfish are drawn to the white lattice called the Fish Aggregation Device (F.A.D.)

Our Mission

ReefSave is now focusing on a new model. Rather than trying to rely upon local fishermen to provide data, ReefSave will separate Trap Testing from Lionfish behavioral study. Trap testing will be conducted in the United States once we have secured a deep water drone.

Internationally, the new model is a participating destination dive shop runs a ReefSave itinerary and volunteers can "Vacation for a Cause" and help the mission .while learning the newest information and by getting physically involved in helping to Do Something Now!

Please review the 2019 Annual Report for details.
