“RELIONMED-Life” - actions for controlling the lionfish invasion
The “RELIONMED-Life” project promotes that the lionfish invasion in the Mediterranean may be controlled by consuming lionfish and by using their soft fins for jewellery making. Furthermore, it is important to also report lionfish sightings on the “IUCN MedMIS” website/application to help monitor the lionfish distribution and abundance in the area. Everyone can help the Mediterranean marine ecosystems! -
