- In this video you will see typical Boynton Beach inlet sea life! We are diving from 70 to 100 feet deep on the search for invasive Lionfish here in Florida. You will see moray eels, lots of snappers and grunts, bull sharks, lots of other fish, and of course the invasive Lionfish we will be using a polespear to take out dozens of these unwanted fish. They have no predators here, so Divers have had to step in and take them out of commission without us doing this, there would be thousands of lionfish everywhere and most of the fish life would be gone from our beautiful Florida reefs so it’s taking out a few Lionfish to save many many fish. Infection the 100 Lionfish that we removed on this trip would’ve went on in their lifetime to kill a total of 5 million fish! Not to mention they would lay millions of eggs, creating more Lionfish! We put them in a cooler and sell them to a restaurant so that people can eat them and learn more about why they are so bad for our ecosystem and economy!

As a marine scientist, thanks for the work you're doing.
Video suggestion: have a counter in the top corner tracking how many you're removing.
Then at the end tie it into a metric of impact: how many fish/day won't be eaten by the fish in your haul, for example.
How much area covered would be cool to hear, plus a running tally of other divers' efforts. Is there a bounty program, or any collective reporting?
Would be awesome to hear your perception of how lionfish populations are growing/declining.
There's a huge boom in YT content around environmental remediation - tie your efforts to the big picture wherever you can.
Great video. Appreciate the narration and original sound, and info about other fish / creatures. Great job!
Glad you enjoyed it!
I really love this content stay consistent and just keep doing what you’re doing. I can see this getting hundreds of thousands of views in a couple years.
Thank you! Will do!
It's pretty but awful fish. Good work! Take care
👁️👁️🦈
Thank you so much for doing this longer video!❤
You are so welcome!
Thanks for all your work, it's an amazing thing you do.❤
I appreciate that!
OMG I LOVE your videos, I was in Florida for 28yrs but I couldn't finish my marine biology classes due to a death in my family so I had to move but I became a chef and I'm dying to try lion fish!! Can't wait to move back and hopefully help u in your mission!! Keep up the great work and gorgeous videos!❤❤
Thank you for this video, it's greatly appreciated!
You're very welcome!
I remember a documentary that was about the lion fish invasion. One of the things they were doing was teaching groupers and sharks to eat them because the boney plates in their mouths protect from the spines. Not sure if it's true but they reported a huge decrease in lionfish population because they don't hide/run and kept getting eaten. Thanks for your work and super neat video❤
I totally understand why this needs to be done but it's such a shame because they are such a beautiful fish. We definitely live on a Beautiful planet 😊
Excellent video, I love how fast you are on the trigger once lined up ;)
I love it they think they're invincible.
This is great! Thank you for the great job you do and for sharing with us!!
I'll never go diving so it's awesome to 'go along' with you!!
😊❤
This was great! Really enjoyed it. More power to you and the channel! Hope to see some of those lionfish cooking videos soon too
Thanks! Will do!
Thanks for doing this!
Excellent video and presentation…Thank you
I really like these longer videos.
I really enjoyed this very much thank you
Keep up the good work !
Amazing video. Love your work.
Beautiful water,
Nice to see boynton is still flourishing. Havent been in those waters since i was a kid back in the early 2000s and with so many of the reefs around Tampa being killing off becuz of the paper plants and other chemicals. Makes me sick that our government doesnt care about any of it. And desantis sure isnt gonna stop the polluting companies since he gets funded by them. As someone who cares deeply about the Florida state and our ecosystems i wish more people would fight the way we do
I totally agree with you completely. That’s why we only touch the Lionfish. Nothing else gets removed unless it Has to be removed. We just want to help not to hinder the environment.😊
Tx for trying to keep Florida reefs from becoming a wasteland!
We are trying ha ha
My buddy did this kind of clean ups. He came in with 168lbs of them in one trip. What was crazy is that when he went back to the spot a few days later, more lion fish had showed up and made it look like he had never been before.
What type of creature is this?!? Do you get them in South and East African waters perhaps if they are in Maldives. Also will be in Seychelles. Island too
@@yvonnelessick9880Red Lionfish. It's an invasive species in the Atlantic. They are native to the indo-pacific ocean.
Great video, great cause. Love what you do!!!
You should do guided hunts then a post dive BBQ the catch, I hear they are good eating, I'd pay for that !
Maybe someday I can do that I need to get a couple certifications like Dive guide and what not
nice work, /waves from Lantana
I whish you will have a reward for your great work.
Hear lion fish have a nice filet on them. Small but good tasting.
One got me in my home aquarium i herd there realy tasty fish but preparation is key
Thank You. Wonderful to watch. And it's doing some good. Thank You again. I heard they are good eating if you can get around the spines
hey nathaniel, is this something that visiting divers to Florida can do? I dove in the Keys in the 90's and never saw a single lionfish, frightening how many there are now.
Yes, you would have to find a place that rents the equipment. It is best to do it properly or not at all especially when you are first doing it because it’s the most dangerous at that point so you have to have a zookeeper and a proper spear I would watch my video on Instagram and TikTok about how to secure everything and make sure you don’t lose anything.
This is awesome, i would love to come dive with you
So beautiful underwater!
Cool video dude
Good job brother. You sell to any restaurants. I love lionfish. Delicious. I'd open a restaurant called "Lionfish" lol
Hi how fun, helpful and beautiful. What are the barrel shaped things? Is it a coral?
What is the name/brand of that tube you’re holding your catch in? My son spearfishes and I’d like to get him something like that
You should show how many you got at the end of the video.
Hey, great job!
I heard some are feeding them to groopers or sharks to train them for hunting them by their self.
Did you try?
If a lionfish is fighting back, that fish takes greater priority to be caught. Because its offsprings will likely have the same adaptation.
Sería genial si al principio del vídeo pones una miniatura con todo el botin de la pesca y cuánto fueron en total 💪♥️
Would be nice to film in landscape to get a wider angle view
Lol, "I think that kinda hurts my face too much"
Great video..!! Pork fish or Porgy...?
Parabéns pelo trabalho!! Pela ATIVIDADE boa 🧡📖🙌🏻✊🏽🤝
Question, how many fit into that tube? Obviously if they're all large ones, then the number would be different than if it were a mix of small medium and large. I'm just curious about an average? Also I see in the comments that some people are saying they are good to eat. So why don't we inform the Chinese factory poaching ships that target foreign nations coast lines? They could clean it up for Florida. (sarcasm....sort of)
How much money do you make selling this many lionfish to restaurants?
Selling the fish, doesn’t recover the cost of catching them, but we have been fortunate to get donations from people on social media, which helps to fund the rest of our operation.
Have you ever given lionfish to the red grouper? Maybe they would learn to hunt them for food.
I have actually tried and they don’t seem to want it unless you cut it up into small pieces. They might take it at that point.
I understand the reason this has to be done but boy do I feel bad for them, you don't see aliens dropping by saying oh these humans are an invasive species and start stabbing 😂
Are you selling them to restaurants?
Is it possible to carry a powerful light down there? Because I am sure many of the fishes and other lifeforms down there are way more beautiful than they appear Because many of the colors don't reach that deep.
2 questions please :what do you do with them after you have caught them? Do you clean then eat them? Thank you!

I could hear the barking of the Dog Fish
Start trying to feed the fish to the eels.
This is a great Vidio so relaxing for New Year's. Did not grab the Bull my the horns. To go with late husband and friends to Keurboom on the Garden Route to do this kind of diving in the sea For Kingklip. Red Roman. Didn't. Really know what would me in store for me actually. Hubby's friend seemed. Rather. Irresponsible. In his manner. But him and his family seemed to manage. To live from the sea. Speardiving for fish to the end. Myself I am scared of the sea really dead scared as my late husband would say. PREFER. The waters off. East Africa
Here's a crazy question I know when I say in a bathtub too long my hands get all wrinkly and Nicki like how do you prevent that like what do you do to help your skin
Do you ever try feeding the dead lionfish to other fish or sharks?
Occasionally, I will give them to eels, but only in places where other divers don’t go because they can become aggressive. Also giving them to sharks is very dangerous. They can become very aggressive. Normally they are super docile, but if they are offered food and it gets away sometimes day get feisty.
In the future it’s best not to upload to tiktok and then download your then altered video. Record raw footage and upload to TH-cam at a superior quality and horizontal orientation
Is it true lionfish taste like lobster ?
One of the biggest... FISHUES?
Gotta ask... is this making a dent in the lionfish population? I hope it is, but there seems to be a LOT of them.
I’m sure you get asked this a lot but how did the lion fish end up over here?
People who had them as pets releasing them into the ocean. Also heard that hurricane Andrew had destroyed an aquarium and some lionfish ended up escaping.
It was a dog fish we heard barking in the background.
How do you dispose these lion fish
We saw them to a restaurant, and then the smaller ones we clean as well in the really little ones we give to a lady who makes fish soup or something to that effect
Porque solo esos pases
Son invasivos. No pertenecen a el oceano atlantico.
👍🏾🇩🇲👍🏾🇩🇲
Why can't I make this any bigger the screen like it's nothing to do with my equipment it's the way you posted it like come on man
My videos are filmed for social media and not for TH-cam but if you’re using it on the phone, you should be able to see it full screen. If you’re using it on the TV or a computer, it will only show the strip down the middle of the larger screen because it is filmed in a portrait mode instead of the landscape, I had to choose one or the other because you can’t do both and Portrait is better for social media and that’s my main usage for the video. You can check me out on Instagram and TikTok and see the video full screen at Lionfish extermination corp
@@Lionfish_Extermination_Corp no that really sucks
nice vid, but less talking
I can’t please everyone if you would like you can turn down the volume a lot of people like the talking. So the suggestion of turning down the volume would be the easiest I think.
@@Lionfish_Extermination_CorpI actually like that you talk because you educate people about all the other creatures that live down there.
Lie there, not lay there. Lie on the bottom, not lay on the bottom.
It's a good thing you were on patrol.
왜 저 물고기만 잡아요?
It's invasive
@@vakitsizzamanseyyah5759 I got it
The longish seem pretty invasive.
Until you consider human beings
PEOPLE are invasive...if that's your reasoning, then you need to go after many more species...
It's a human's fault lionfish became invasive in the Atlantic.
