Lionfish Patrol App
Saving Reef Fish One Lionfish at a Time
About The App
Lionfish Patrol is an app project that we started in the summer of 2020. It was designed, developed, tested and launched in about 4 months! The idea is to bring everyone who does anything related to lionfish all on the same platform. So divers, restaurants, nonprofits, jewelry makers, dive shops and anyone else that is in the fight to control these invasive invaders.
Divers add their lionfish catch totals to a diver log so they can keep track of all the lionfish they have caught – how many, where, when, how deep, how long, etc. We do not ask for their GPS location – just the city they did the diving. We then add that information to a global database where we can see trends, hotspots, local, regional, and global efforts and more!
We are proud to be working with Divers, Nonprofits Businesses and Observers throughout the four regions in the fight against the invasive lionfish! The four regions are the Atlantic, Gulf of Mexico, Caribbean and the Mediterranean Sea. We want them to succeed so we offer free services and advertising for them. If they can continue to remove lionfish they can continue to save the reefs.
