The Lionfish Removal and Awareness Day (LRAD) event is held each year in conjunction with the Okaloosa Tourist Development Council, Florida Fish and Wildlife and the Emerald Coast Open Lionfish Tournament (https://emeraldcoastopen.com/). This year, the event is Saturday, May 14 - Sunday May 15, 2022 at the Harbor Walk Village in Destin (behind AJ's). Each year, Florida Sea Grant recruits volunteers to help with the event. Volunteers are asked to commit to at least 4 hours during the event. We need volunteers that can lift heavy coolers, sort and count fish, and are interested in educating the public about lionfish. Volunteers receive a t-shirt, lunch and the satisfaction of knowing that you have helped rid our local waters of a detrimental invasive species. You are guaranteed to have fun as well. If you have any questions, feel free to contact Laura Tiu, lgtiu@ufl.edu 850-612-6197.
