Lionfish \u2013 Lionfish are invasive marine species that pose a threat to native \u00a0marine species and ecosystems.\u00a0 Three draft rules will be proposed to prevent further lionfish introductions and facilitate efforts to remove these non-native predators.\u00a0 Harvest by divers using either spearing gear or hand held nets is currently the primary means of lionfish population control. Persons diving by means of a rebreather are currently prohibited from harvesting any marine species in state waters.\u00a0 A proposed draft rule would create an exception to allow persons using rebreathers to harvest lionfish.\u00a0 In addition, there are several places in state waters that are closed to all spearfishing.\u00a0 In the past the Executive Director, in consultation with the Chairman, has issued Executive Orders to allowparticipants in organized, approved events to use spearing gears to remove lionfish from some of these locations.\u00a0 A proposed draft rule would allow the FWC Executive Director or his designee to issue permits to these types of tournaments or other approved events for the use of spearing gears (in areas where spearfishing is otherwise prohibited) to remove lionfish or other non-native invasive species, instead of having to issue an Executive Order.\u00a0\u00a0Control efforts are also hampered by the possible continued introduction of additional individuals or species.\u00a0 The third proposed draft rule would prohibit any further importation of live lionfish or the development of lionfish aquaculture in Florida.
