Often referred to as the worst marine invasion to date, lionfish have the potential to alter the population dynamics of our native marine communities, impacting the recreational and commercial fishing industries and overall economy of Florida. Join Us to learn about ways to get involved in lionfish removal efforts. About the Speaker:   Hanna Tillotson is a biological scientist for FWC's Division of Marine Fisheries Management. She manages the Reef Rangers "Adopt-A-Reef" program and the "Become the Predator" diver workshops. She helps monitor lionfish populations and investigates their biology on Florida reef systems. Hanna received her MSc at FSU in Biological Science.   UPCOMING EVENTS              Sharks, Cancer and Fake news              February 8th, 2018              Conservation Lecture               FSUCML - 7-8pm               Click Here for more info
