Lionfish removal from artificial reefs in the Amathounta "MPA"
On the 10th of May 2020, “MER Lab”, “DFMR”, “UoP” and three “RATs” members (particularly from the “Nautilus Club”) conducted lionfish removals at the Artificial Reefs of Limassol in Dasoudi and Amathountos. Divers removed 32 lionfish from the Amathounta “MPA”, in a single dive, cleaning this way the four pyramidal artificial reefs. A big thank you to the “RATs” for the support.
