REEF Invasive Lionfish Program

Calling all Lionfish hunters — our Fish out of Water 5K race starts in less than 2 weeks!

Between June 7–13 log your 3.1 miles however you like... Run, walk, bike, paddle, or swim. It's virtual, so your "race" can happen on your local trail, in the pool, or at your local dive site where you do your surveys.

Every registration helps fund REEF Oceans for All fund to support the next generation of ocean stewards!

Register: www.REEF.org/5k

🙏 THANK YOU to our incredible sponsors! 🙏

The 17th Annual REEF Lionfish Derby & Arts Festival wouldn't be possible without the generous support of the businesses, agencies, and partners who share our mission to protect Florida's reefs from invasive lionfish.

From funding and gear to prizes, food, and on-the-ground support — your commitment helps us remove thousands of lionfish from our waters, train the next generation of marine stewards, and make this event a true community celebration.
