2024 PENSACOLA LIONFISH SHOOTOUT AND FESTIVAL
This is the second year of this effort to remove lionfish in the fall. Last year 2488 lionfish were removed during the weekend event.
This year the event will again be held at the Quietwater Boardwalk on Pensacola Beach Sep 21-22.
Dive teams interested in entering the contest can find more information and register at Pensacola Lionfish Shootout |
The Lionfish Festival will be held at the same location and dates. There will be education booths, games for kids, art vendors, and celebrity chefs will be providing their own versions of lionfish.
Florida Sea Grant will be hosting a food booth where the public can try not only lionfish but other invasive species such as feral hog and iguana. Plates are available for a $20 donation. Donations must be either check or cash.
