Join the Caribbean Oceanic Restoration and Education Foundation (CORE) this spring for a one day Lionfish derby. CORE aims to continue to grow this event on St. Croix to help mitigate the invasive lionfish problem surrounding the island. Lionfish (Pterois spp.) are a species of fish native to the indo Pacific Ocean and are classified as an invasive species in this area. This year we have quite the prize pool available, and the t-shirts are pretty cool too. They come free with your registration!

The Caribbean Oceanic Restoration and Education Foundation would like to thank Red Hook Dive Center for their extensive support of CORE and the STT/STJ Lionfish Derby. This event would not be possible without their contributions. If you are in need of a dive shop, please consider patronizing RHDC for an amazing diving experience. Additionally we would like to thank our Silver Sponsors, Town and Country Marine Services, as well as Aqua Action Dive Center. Both have contributed substantially and we appreciate their support in our efforts to promote and grow lionfish hunting in the Virgin Islands. Finally, we would like to thank our Bronze Sponsors. Through their collective efforts, our Bronze Sponsors have bolstered the prize pool, allowing us to offer attractive winnings to our most successful lionfish hunters. VIPCA, Zookeeper, VI Chiropractic Health Center, The VI Cat, Neptune Adventures, and Empire Boat Charters have all helped make this event possible, and we thank them for helping us continue our mission. Please consider your future purchases, as us here at CORE would greatly appreciate your support of our sponsors.
