Stoked to be in Belém, Brazil for COP30! COP is the UN’s global climate conference where world leaders meet to take action on the climate crisis. I was invited to share our experiences with the lionfish in the Caribbean and to meet with the fishing industry and NGOs in Brazil to figure out a way to combat invasive lionfish here.
I still remember when I sold the first 10lbs of devil fish to a restaurant in Mexico in 2014.
I came home and daydreamed about one day becoming a proverbial ghostbuster for invasive species, traveling the world to mitigate environmental problems while strengthening affected communities.
It’s certainly been an adventure and I’m grateful for the invite to share our work at COP30 on a global stage.
Thank you everyone for your support and here’s to many more invasives adventures in the future!
