dc.description.abstract | The countries of the Wider Caribbean with their vibrant coral reefs are major tourist
destinations, bringing billions of dollars to the Caribbean annually. The importance
of reef resources is invaluable to local economies and cultures. Invasive Alien
Species (IAS) are considered one of the major threats to native species and habitats
in the Caribbean. Recognizing the urgency of the lionfish invasion and the need to
develop clear recommendations for local control, a special workshop was organized
by an international team, including the International Coral Reef Initiative, REEF,
NOAA, and SPAW-RAC, and it took place in August 2010 in Cancun, Mexico. With 47
participants representing over 25 organizations from 20 countries and territories of
the Wider Caribbean, the ICRI Regional Lionfish Workshop identified many of the
best strategies for addressing the lionfish invasion.
The intent of this publication, Invasive Lionfish: A Guide to Control and Management, is to provide a reference for resource managers, policy makers, field workers,
outreach coordinators, researchers, fishers, divers, and the general public — who
are actively engaged in learning about lionfish and developing local control strategies. The strategies recommended herein are based upon best available science
and practice, which in time will change as new approaches and the effectiveness
levels of existing approaches emerge. Resource managers are encouraged to use
the information in this guide to develop local management plans. | en_US |
