How Can The Data Help?
An Actual Situation
Lionfish Patrol data was used in a two day conference for the UNDP in Turkey discussing the invasion of lionfish in the Mediterranean Sea. The Minister of Fisheries didn’t have any information about the lionfish invasion, so there were unanswered questions on whether the lionfish population in Turkish waters should be a concerning.
Answers
Lionfish Patrol data helped show how bad the Turkish situation really is. Our data was used to show the average catch per diver in the Caribbean is an average of 8 lionfish per dive, while divers in Turkey (the Mediterranean Sea) catch an average of 24 lionfish per dive! Plus they have to free dive to catch them! If they were allowed to use SCUBA the numbers could be double that!
