Dear All,
We are excited to announce the release of the Lionfish Web Portal. Here is
the link: [2]http://lionfish.gcfi.org/index.php.
The web portal provide much information and services that will be useful to
coastal managers, researchers, educators, and the general public. Here are
a few key features:
* Live feeds on the front page including twitter (#lionfish), google news,
youtube video, Flickr, etc.). Make the web porgal your home page to
keep up to date!
* A searchable database of lionfish related literature (e.g., check out
all the 2014 lionfish article citations)
* Image and video contests
* Myths busted, fact sheets, videos, lists of educational websites,
workshops and conferences, class room ideas
* Researcher corner and forum where researchers can interact and share
questions and answers (great for students)
* Control methods and commercial harvesting resources (lists of products,
vendors, commercial harvesters)
* Links to lionfish management plans
* and much, much, more...
Many thanks to GCFI, REEF, CONANP, ICRI, NOAA, Oregon State University,
