 On Saturday, the Coast Fish Project, in collaboration with the Sufra Marine Management Association, SMMA, the Sufra Regional Development Foundation, SRDF, and the Ministry of Agriculture hosted a lionfish tournament and cooking demo at the Sufra Market. The initiative aimed to educate residents of Sufra on the invasive lionfish species. According to the representative from the Coast Fish Project, Saori Imamura, such initiatives are extremely important, particularly given that many people depend on fishing to survive. A representative from the fisheries department, Rita Mitchell, explains that the initiative successfully met its objectives. At the end of the tournament, Anne Shastney's divers won prizes for the biggest lionfish caught and the most lionfish caught, while the Coral Gardeners won a prize for the smallest lionfish caught. Members of the public during the cooking demo were treated to samples of lionfish and were also educated on how to clean and prepare the lionfish themselves. Denzo George says he was unaware that the lionfish could have been prepared in so many ways. According to the Coast Fish Project Rep, engaging initiatives such as the tournament will continue happening in Sufra and the hope is to transmit that knowledge to other communities as well.
