For anyone who has been diving in Cozumel over the last year
or so knows that we have a reef invader. That is the Lionfish.

This invader has created quite a bit of excitement.
It is not native to here and is not a welcomed visitor.

Well now CozumelAPPS, a local APPs developer, has created
an APP Game based on this critter. You can go Lionfish hunting
on your phone or tablet.

So if you have an Android Smartphone or Android Tablet, you
can go to the Android Market and checkout this APP.

Here is the Market link.

You can also find it on your phone in Android Market by searching
the keyword “cozumel”.

Here is a cool video from the guys at Pepe Scuba that shows a damsel fish trying to protect
it’s territory from the very persistant turtle who just wants to get something to eat.

Great video guys !!
Hope we see more from you real soon !!

As many of you already know, Cozumel is having a major problem with the Lionfish invasion.

Just recently, Cozumel hosted a Lionfish Tournament. Over 50 divers participated. In 5 hours 279 lionfish were removed from Cozumel’s reefs. The leading contestants extracted 115 lionfish, winning the grand prize of $8,000 pesos. The same team, also extracted the largest lionfish at 420 grams and was 32.4 centimeters in length.

This tournament was especially important, since it was an innovative way to rid our waters of this voracious predator. Since Lionfish are not indigenous to the area, they have no natural enemies, and will eat almost any other fish encountered. They are also extremely fertile, laying over 30,000 eggs at a time.
