Podcasts about lionfish

Lionfish are an invasive species in Florida. They arrived in our waters as early as the 1980s and efforts to control the population are ongoing. Lionfish eat just about every creature they see in the sea, and can devastate ecosystems. Destin is holding a Lionfish Festival this weekend (17-18) to encourage people to catch the weird-looking fish and make a meal out of it. We speak with Tony Hart, Lionfish Outreach Coordinator for the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission. 

We are homogenizing our animal communities. You can hunt Nilgai in south Texas Reticulated Pythons in Florida, and wild pigs just about anywhere. But did you know things are often worse in the aquatic world? It is true that we have released just about every species discovered into our waterways, and many have taken hold. Some were intentional and part of legal government management, some were accidental, but many are the result of just concerned pet owners that can't keep Nemo but want to give him a fighting chance. To discuss some of these issues, Wes chats with Dr. Mike Sandel and his graduate student, Tobin Davidson. So, sit back, relax, and enjoy. Then let's go spearfishing for Lionfish.    Do you have questions or comments? Follow the Fish University Facebook community and chat with Wes or suggest future episodes!

Lisette Keus is a lionfish huntress and entrepreneur.  In this episode, she talks about widening horizons, the awareness of differences, non-profit contradictions, adapting to the opportunities, being in charge of the whole chain, fixing the problems as they occur, and to keep moving.Lisette Keus was born in the Netherlands and grew up in the world, thanks to her adventurous and business-minded parents. Her journey has taken her from Australia to Curaçao to Bangladesh, shaping her view of the world with every step. She once had the idealistic dream of becoming a human rights lawyer, but after a few detours, reality led her (back) to the ocean. Lisette eventually started Lionfish Caribbean, where they're helping to tackle the invasive lionfish problem by catching them, and turning them into delicious LionDishes and beautiful jewelry. She strongly believes that long-term real change comes from businesses, not so much from non-profits, and that sustainable solutions can be both impactful and profitable. For her, life is all about moving forward, opening your eyes and staying connected to the world around you. And if you want things to be different, then change it! Learn more about Lissete:www.lionfishcaribbean.comTo learn more, visit:linkedin.com/in/jason-Shupp-18b4619bListen to more episodes on Mission Matters:https://missionmatters.com/author/Jason-Shupp/

Plastic pollution is one of the most pressing threats to our oceans today. In this episode, we explore how microplastics—tiny fragments of plastic waste—make their way into tropical marine ecosystems and cause lasting damage. Whether it's through broken-down consumer products or fishing gear, plastic pollution infiltrates ocean habitats and harms marine life in ways we're just beginning to understand. Coral reefs, often called the rainforests of the sea, are especially vulnerable to plastic pollution. These vital ecosystems support biodiversity, protect coastlines, and sustain livelihoods. Dr. Lisa Rodrigues, a professor at Villanova University, shares her research on how microplastics impact coral health, disrupt growth, and even contribute to disease in reef systems. Plastics can also alter water quality and affect the delicate balance that coral reefs depend on to thrive. Marine debris isn't just unsightly—it's a serious ecological problem. From lionfish to tiny plankton, organisms across the food chain are ingesting plastics or suffering from habitat degradation. Dr. Rodrigues explains how even pristine-looking beaches can hide layers of microplastics beneath the surface. We also discuss how citizen science, beach cleanups, and community involvement play key roles in fighting plastic waste in coastal areas. Ocean conservation efforts must include tackling plastic pollution at its source. In this episode, we talk about the role of environmental policy, education, and innovation in reducing marine plastic waste. Whether you're an activist, student, diver, or beach lover, there are actionable ways you can help protect coral reefs and reduce the plastic footprint in our oceans.   Follow a career in conservation: https://www.conservation-careers.com/online-training/ Use the code SUFB to get 33% off courses and the careers program.   Do you want to join my Ocean Community?

The Panama Canal expansion allowed bigger ships to move through the canal; however, it also allowed an invasion of saltwater and saltwater fish into a freshwater lake, which threatened freshwater fish species and half of the country's drinking water. I dive into the unintended consequences of the 2016 Panama Canal expansion. Saltwater species from the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans are now invading Lake Gatún, displacing native freshwater fish and jeopardizing the water supply for nearly half of Panama's population. Find out how this ecological shift is affecting local communities and the potential solutions Panama is considering to address this growing crisis.  Link to article: https://www.thecooldown.com/outdoors/panama-canal-expansion-fish-invasion-lake-gatun/?utm_source=flipboard&utm_content=TheCoolDown/magazine/The+Cool+Down Follow a career in conservation: https://www.conservation-careers.com/online-training/ Use the code SUFB to get 33% off courses and the careers program.   Do you want to join my Ocean Community?

Tom Wright & Jessica Dupont: Environmental Transformation Through Community Action - From Plastic Recycling to Lionfish Management in Panama Jessica Dupont interviews Tom Wright, founder of Wasteless World, about his journey building environmental initiatives in Panama. Tom explains how his organization evolved from a website on waste management solutions to a foundation running multiple community projects, including the Bye Bye Lionfish initiative. The conversation explores their sustainable business models that convert invasive lionfish into jewelry and food products, providing income for indigenous fishermen while addressing ecological threats. Despite challenges, including a factory fire in 2022, Wasteless World continues developing market-based solutions that align economic opportunities with environmental restoration in coastal communities.

This animal is ~60 cm long (including tail), with red feeding palps (or “lips”) visibly extended from its anterior end (right). Show transcript: Welcome to Strange Animals Podcast. I'm your host, Kate Shaw. This week we're going to learn about two interesting marine animals suggested by Jayson and David. Let's start with David's suggestion, the lionfish. The lionfish doesn't actually look like a lion although it is a fish. It lives in shallow tropical water in the Indian Ocean and western Pacific, especially around coral reefs. There are twelve species of lionfish known, but they're mostly fairly similar. The lionfish is brown or dark red in color with white stripes, fan-like fins, and lots of long spines, all of which are striped black and white or red and white to make them more visible. When a fish or other animal has markings that make it stand out against the background, you can be pretty sure that it's dangerous, and that's the case for the lionfish. The lionfish's spines are venomous, especially the spines on the dorsal fin. If it feels threatened, it will point the dorsal fin at the predator and keep it pointed at it no matter which direction the predator moves. If the predator swims below the lionfish, the lionfish will turn upside-down in the water to keep the dorsal fin pointed at it. Most predators back off at that point, and I don't blame them because that sounds really scary. People have died from lionfish venom, but it's rare. Mostly it's just extremely painful and makes the person feel really sick for a day or two. Divers have to be careful when they're around lionfish, because lionfish can be aggressive and will point that dorsal fin at the diver as a warning. You don't want a lionfish to point at you. The lionfish eats smaller fish, including smaller lionfish, invertebrates, and other small animals. It confuses other fish by blowing water at them. The little fish turns to face into what it thinks is a weird water current, and suddenly, there's a lionfish that just gulps it down. As David points out, even though the lionfish is dangerous, it's definitely beautiful. Some people keep lionfish in saltwater aquariums, although they're hard to care for in captivity, and unfortunately sometimes the fish escape into the wild or are released. The red lionfish is especially invasive in the Caribbean Sea, the Gulf Coast, and off the southeastern coast of the United States. Lionfish have also been introduced to parts of the Mediterranean Sea, where they're becoming more and more invasive. Because invasive lionfish eat so many native fish, and because it's spreading rapidly and becoming extremely common, people have been trying to find ways to reduce the invasive population. It turns out that lionfish are good to eat if you're careful when handling the spines during cleaning, so people in areas where it's invasive are encouraged to catch lionfish to eat. Invasive lionfish are even served in fancy restaurants. Since the red lionfish can grow around 18 inches long, or 47 cm, there's lot a of meat on one. No one's sure why it's called a lionfish. It doesn't look remotely like a lion. It's also called the zebrafish because of its stripes. Next,

Les Poissons lions (ou Rascasses volantes), ces beautés du diable, constituent aujourd'hui une très problématique espèce envahissante. Les Rascasses volantes (“Lion fish” en anglais) appartiennent, comme les Poissons-scorpions, à la famille des scorpénidés. Tout ça sent le venin et les embrouilles … Dans l'œil d'un poisson, tous les membres de cette famille sont mimétiques, de deux façons très différentes. Les Pterois (Rascasses volantes) de cet épisode de Petit Poisson Deviendra Podcast vivent en pleine eau et lévitent placidement. Mais bam! elles chopent en une fraction de seconde tout ce qui passe à portée de leur bouche d'alien protractile. Les Poissons-Scorpions, leurs cousines du prochain épisode suivant sont quand à eux tapis au fond, déguisés en algues et en rocher. Invisibles, bim! ils engloutissent de la même façon tout petit poisson myope ou imprudent, qui du coup ne deviendra plus jamais podcast … Tous les scorpénidés sont pourvus de nageoires à longs rayons équipées de glandes contenant un puissant venin. Depuis une dizaine d'années, les Poissons lions (rascasses volantes) (Pterois volitans et Pterois miles) sont devenus des EEE, des espèces exotiques envahissantes. À la suite d'un relâché accidentel, elles ravagent les récifs des régions de l'Atlantique Ouest, de la mer des Caraïbes et du golfe du Mexique... Elles envahissent aussi Méditerranée, avec un début de migration lessepsienne (par le canal de Suez), en raison du réchauffement climatique. Elles pullulent, n'ont pas de prédateurs naturels dans les nouvelles zones colonisées. Elles se reproduisent vite, et mangent tous les alevins des autres espèces. Les plongeurs incitent des requins à les manger et des restaurateurs comme celui de cette vidéo les mettent à leur menu. Nous avons le même problème en Europe avec le crabe bleu et quelques autres EEE. Pour une fois la pêche et le commerce sont envisagés comme solutions !_______

Want to save our coral reefs while enjoying a delicious meal? In this episode, we speak with Madalyn "Moose" Mussey from REEF (Reef Environmental Education Foundation). Discover how these beautiful but invasive Lionfish threaten native fish populations and coral reef ecosystems. Learn why spearfishing lionfish is a vital part of the solution, and how you can get involved as a citizen scientist to help protect our reefs. Plus, Moose shares insider tips on safely handling and preparing this delectable catch.  Key Takeaways: REEF (Reef Environmental Education Foundation) is a grassroots non-profit organization focused on conservation through citizen science, education, and outreach. Invasive lionfish pose a significant threat to native fish populations and coral reef ecosystems in the Atlantic and Caribbean. REEF's Volunteer Fish Survey Project allows divers and snorkelers to contribute valuable data about fish populations, which helps inform conservation efforts. The organization's Invasive Lionfish Program aims to control lionfish populations through derbies, workshops, and promoting lionfish consumption. Lionfish are venomous, not poisonous, and their spines require careful handling during preparation, but the meat is safe and delicious to eat. Some native predators, like sharks and groupers, are learning to hunt invasive lionfish, but it's essential to let this process happen naturally without human intervention. Responsible and respectful fishing practices are crucial for maintaining healthy marine ecosystems and balancing the needs of different stakeholders. Everyone, from fishermen to divers and the general public, can contribute to reef conservation through citizen science, responsible practices, and supporting organizations like REEF.

Unlike a typical podcast, I am not channeling in a space that has been set up for recording audio - Rather I am channeling in my meditation loft or outside in a natural setting. To put it another way, these channeled sessions are recorded ‘on location' and for this reason the sound quality may not be at the level of one who sits in a studio-like environment and carries on what my guides refer to as a human-to-human discourse.

“Even in ten years we changed the entire ecosystem in Gökova Bay and fisheries.” The world's oceans have been depleted of many important species through overfishing. Removing parts of the sea's ecosystem and the introduction of invasive species can have far reaching consequences both in and on the water. Zafer Kizilkaya is an award winning conservationist. In 2012 he founded the Mediterranean Conservation Society which built and oversaw Turkey's first community-managed Marine Protected Area. These MPAs have now expanded along the Turquoise Coast and have seen balance returning to their ecosystems. Zafer also helped to reduce the number of invasive species by encouraging local fishermen to catch lionfish and rabbitfish, and for local fine-dining chefs to include them on the menus in their restaurants.Join rewilding enthusiast and financier Ben Goldsmith as he speaks to environmental trail blazers from all corners of the globe. Recent climate science seems to paint a picture of despair with irreparable damage being done to our natural world. But there are rays of hope. Across the planet people are carrying out astonishing work, returning large areas of land and oceans back to their former glory.This podcast is produced by The Podcast Coach.

Muslims around the world are celebrating Eid, but how to pick a date for your festivities? The Islamic calendar says look to the moon, but haven't we always chosen to order life on earth by using the planets, moons and stars? We hear about the Mayans who tracked Venus and the astronomer who proved that comets weren't bad omens. Having looked at the outsourcing of decisions to the sky, we wonder why we can't just trust our brains and wonder what neuroscience has to say about it. And now that AI is able to make decisions for us, we hear about the computer-predicted proteins doing work that would otherwise take millions of years of evolution. Our ‘Under the Radar' story this week comes from Brazil, where we meet the Lionfish – hear how these kings of the coral reef are upsetting the ecosystem by eating most of it. In our ongoing quest to find The Coolest Science in the World, we hear from a scientist doing amazing things with immersive audio. And Marnie learns about the engineer trying to build roads through fresh volcanic lava, and reflects on how we predict eruptions. All this plus your emails and WhatsApps, and a lot of mango chat.

Rory Sutherland is, perhaps, the closest thing to industry royalty that we have in marketing. He's Vice Chairman of Ogilvy UK, a best-selling author, owner of one of the best ⁠TED Talks⁠ you'll ever see and the man behind ⁠MAD Fest⁠ a marketing, advertising and disruption event taking place in London 4 – 6 July. In this episode we discuss: Lionfish, toothfish and pilchards – how rebranding fish drives sales Humans have strange value systems The map is not the territory – Alfred Korzybski The relationship between innovation and marketing All decisions look different with hindsight Rory being a heretic Mercedes v Toyota and how they manufacture quality without trade offs Why people buy expensive wines How to get young people to invest in pensions When you shouldn't use nudges Why economists are the worst people on the planet Why the Uber map is genius Why random brands exist on Amazon The benefits of being on Chris Evans' breakfast show How the Walls Viennetta came about How managers can convince the board to invest in radical thinking Rory Sutherland Rory is the Vice Chairman of Ogilvy, an attractively vague job title which has allowed him to co-found a behavioral science practice within the agency. He works with a consulting practice of psychology graduates who look for ‘unseen opportunities' in consumer behaviour - these are the often small contextual changes which can have enormous effects on the decisions people make - for instance tripling the sales rate of a call centre by adding just a few sentences to the script. Put another way, lots of agencies will talk about "bought, owned and earned" media: we also look for "invented media" and "discovered media": seeking out those unexpected (and inexpensive) contextual tweaks that transform the way that people think and act. It is a hugely valuable activity - but, alas, not particularly lucrative. This is because clients generally do not have budgets for solving problems they did not know they had. Before founding Ogilvy's Behavioural Practice, Rory was a copywriter and creative director at Ogilvy for over 20 years, having joined as a graduate trainee in 1988. He has variously been President of the IPA, Chair of the Judges for the Direct Jury at Cannes, and has spoken at TED Global. He writes regular columns for the Spectator, Market Leader and Impact, and also occasional pieces for Wired. He is the author of three books: The Wiki Man, available on Amazon (at prices between £1.96 and £2,345.54, depending on whether the algorithm is having a bad day), and the best-selling Alchemy, The surprising Power of Ideas which don't make Sense, published in the UK and US in May 2019, and, co-written with his former colleague Pete Dyson, the newly released Transport For Humans on the behavioural science of transport.

Learn all about this beautiful, venomous, invasive species with guests Rachel Bowman and Holden Harris.

On today's ID the Future host Andrew McDiarmid brings listeners a couple of fascinating recent articles from Evolution News & Science Today by David Coppedge. The first is “Animals Tune Behavior by  Lunar Cycle; but How?” The second article is “Darwin, We Have a Problem: Horse Teeth Are Not Less Evolved.” In the first, some ingenious molecular engineering crops up in widely divergent creatures, giving them some impressive abilities to read lunar cycles. The evolutionists' go-to explanation is “convergent evolution,” an incantation that fails to explain how something like this could have evolved even once, much less multiple separate times. And in the second, a much-beloved story of ruminant tooth evolution gets a kick in the teeth from a series Read More › Source

Pressure is inescapable. Especially in the kitchen. It breaks down our beans, keeps our spritzes spritzy, and extracts our espresso. Pressure can also break down our spirits, and kitchens have a reputation for being exceptionally stressful scenes. This week we're investigating pressure in a variety of contexts, from ubiquitous appliances to non-indigenous species. Further Reading:Thanks to Armen Hammer for the cold open music.

Not only are we living in a time where people are proud of their ignorance, argues the writer and comedian Andy Borowitz, but some of our most educated politicians are now playing down their intelligence as a strategy to get elected. Borowitz, the author of the long-running satirical column The Borowitz Report, examines this phenomenon in his new book, “Profiles of Ignorance: How America's Politicians Got Dumb and Dumber.” “When Trump was elected, a lot of us supposedly knowledgeable people were taken by surprise,” he tells David Remnick. “But the more I researched the past fifty years, the more likely and plausible—and maybe even inevitable—his election was, because he actually had a great deal in common with his forebears."   Plus, native to the waters of the Indo-Pacific, lionfish have proven themselves incredibly well adapted to the Atlantic coast. In their original habitat, the fish are kept under control by natural predators: groupers, eels, and sharks. But, elsewhere, predators can't compete, and lionfish—with their voracious appetite and high fecundity—are upending the equilibrium of reef life. The staff writer D. T. Max takes a stab at lionfish spearing off the coast of Florida and talks with one of the most passionate lionfish hunters diving today, Rachel Bowman.

Lionfish (Pterois volitans) aren't native to the Atlantic Ocean nor the Gulf of Mexico, yet the Pacific Ocean species has taken up residency in those coastal waters and is subsequently wreaking havoc on those marine ecosystems. Without many natural predators in their new environment, lionfish populations have grown in numbers and range. This has resulted in [...]

It is, finally, open. Almost. When Grand Ole BBQ y Asado shut down its North Park location for renovation, it was supposed to be for a couple of months. That was three years ago. In the interim, we had a pandemic. But now it's been fully redone. It's ready to open, soon as the last health inspections pass. This is big news because, well, Grand Ole is great. Owner Andy Harris has kept himself busy with their other location in Flinn Springs, which is about as close to a Texas backyard barbecue joint as you can get without leaving San Diego. It's still got that backyard, wooden bench vibe. But most grandmas will like these benches. “I wanted it to be for everyone to enjoy their time there—like if your grandma wanted to come she wouldn't think it was gross,” says owner Andy Harris. “Like my aunt came to the old one and she was like uh no.” In the spirit of everyone, Grand Ole will be the first local barbecue restaurant I can think of with a vegan menu. Andy's also got a “sommelier type guy” for the new spot, wants to prove that beer isn't the only thing that goes well with brisket and ribs and smoked turkey. And of course he'll have craft beer galore on taps throughout. With a full kitchen (the original spot just had a cubby hole), they'll be able to do more menu options and non-barbecue dishes. They'll also have kimchi and a few Korean dipping sauces. “I met a woman who was a dealer at a local casino,” says Harris. “Maybe I go there occasionally. Anyway, we start talking and she says she makes the best kimchi I've ever tasted. So she brings me some. And it is the best I've ever tasted. So now she's going to make all our kimchi. Marcia Marcia Marcia kimchi.” In Hot Plates, we get the sad news out of the way—Metl in North Park, with their boozy milkshakes, had to close (their downtown location is going strong). Stone Brewing won its lawsuit against Molson Coors, whose rebrand of Keystone was deemed to be a pretty bad trademark infringement (the Keystone cans sure looked like the name was “Stone”). The San Diego Beer News Awards rolled out their winners, with some of the bigger awards going to Hopnonymous, McIlhenney Brewing, Pure Project, North Park Beer Co, Burgeon Beer Co., Stone, Societe, and Treevana. And this weekend, one of the best food events in San Diego is finally back after three years—”Celebrate the Craft” at the Lodge at Torrey Pines, an outdoor collaboration cooking event under the sun with Kelli Crosson (AR Valentien), Javier Plascencia (Finca Altozano), Eric Bost (Jeune et Jolie), Jojo Ruiz (Serea, Lionfish), and Travis Swikard (Callie). For “Two People, Fifty Bucks,” Troy is still a little stunned by how good Matsu is, and how chef William Eick can do what he did with that cabbage dish. David has a billion tasters of mezcal at Camino Riviera in Middletown/Little Italy, and Andy is all about the sole with white wine at San Diego classic, Anthony's Fish Grotto. Thanks for listening, guys.
