Cozumel’s last lionfish tournament, which took place, August 25th, removed 1,593 specimens of this voracious predator off our island’s reefs.  According to a 2012 study  by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA),  which has been studying the lionfish problem worldwide, 1,593 lionfish would eat 5 million fish of different species in one year alone.

In addition, lionfish are a delicious, mild flavored source of excellent fillets, which can be prepared in a variety of ways.  For more information on lionfish, recipes, cooking tips, and more, check out the webpage, “Death to Lionfish.

An ex-Connecticut Yankee who has called Cozumel home for over 18 years, Laura ran away to the Caribbean years ago, bumped around the islands teaching SCUBA diving, lost some time in Jamaica, and finally stopped in Cozumel for a 2 week vacation that hasn’t ended yet. With a degree in Journalism from a fancy private college she convinced her parents to pay for, Laura writes, edits, and creates the weekly Cozumel 4 You news, social media, and promotional articles about the island, as well as moderates the Cozumel 4 You Facebook group, which currently has over 25,000 members. Her long suffering husband, Fabian, has long since resigned himself to having zero private life, as he’s been involved in her various schemes and plots since his arrival. Proud parents to a variety of rescue dogs and cats, Laura continues to be the bane of her traditional Mexican mother-in-law’s existence, as she muses her way through life in the Mexican Caribbean. ______________________________ Una ex yanqui de Connecticut quien llama hogar a Cozumel desde hace más de 15 años.
