From RockRat2008: ...If you are planning a trip to Bonaire that includes diving, you will be required to attend a Bonaire National Marine Park Orientation/Briefing prior to your first dive on the island.
Yes, we went through that orientation prior to diving. They handed out a bunch of yellow plastic streamers which divers would attach to the reef when a Lionfish was found, then you notify the Marine Park Rangers of the location of that marker. The problem is that at some dives sites, you’d come across a dozen of these markers, and nearby would be a Lionfish, some of the markers had algae growing on them, so they were in there for quite some time. That’s what made me wonder if I should just kill the Lionfish right then & there and get it off the reef. I didn’t do anything to the fish, but just kept wondering if I should have.
