Combining the fun of diving and fishing with the responsibility of protecting Wakulla’s ecological and marine resources is exactly why Jesse Rice targets invasive lionfish.
Lionfish are predatory reef fish. They eat native fish, which can reduce native populations and have negative effects on the overall reef habitat and health as they can eliminate species that serve important ecological roles such as fish that keep algae in check on the reefs. Lionfish also compete for food with native predatory fish such as grouper and snapper.
As the owner of Trident restaurant, Rice turns an invasive predator into a culinary highlight by transforming his catch into delicious, Gulf-to-table meals.
The Sopchoppy Lions Club proudly announces the addition of a new Melvin Jones Fellow Award winner in its membership! Lion member Randy Anderson was selected for the prestigious award in July of this year. The Melvin Jones Award, named for the founder of the Lions Clubs, is presented to Lions for years of continuous and exemplary service.
