In light of the continued warnings on the threat from Lionfish, should we, the diving community, commit to a policy of catching and/or killing as many as we can on every dive possible?

[Choose #1] I support the ECRA llionfish population control proposal that rewards divers with 10 fish tags for every 100 lionfish removed from the water. To see the proposal and to sign a letter of support go to: www.ecreef.org

[Choose #2] Maybe we should introduce a fly, no bird, no cat, no dog..... Eventually natural selection will work, but I won’t live that long.
