Saturday, Feb 26, at 11:00 am, learn about how Lionfish came to be in our coastal waters and what is being done to manage the population. With no predators in the Atlantic, the population of lionfish has quickly grown.
Originally from the Indo-Pacific Ocean, Lionfish have quickly become an invasive species locally. A specimen is currently featured in our Shipwreck Aquarium.
The Lionfish presentation is part of the Museum of Coastal Carolina’s Sea Tales program, where you can learn about local sea creatures featured in our exhibits.
Our Education Coordinator, Jamie Justice will present this fun, interactive program. Jamie received her Bachelor of Science in Marine Biology from Bowling Green State University and her Master of Science in Environmental Science with concentrations in Marine and Coastal Education and Coastal Management from the University of North Carolina, Wilmington.
The Museum of Coastal Carolina is located at 21 East Second Street in Ocean Isle Beach, NC. Admission is free for members.
