Dear Gordon,
The shoreline of Cozumel that is outside the National Park is pretty well covered by scuba equipped fishermen and as long as we can create a market for lion fish--by eating them in our restaurants--then much of the same control may be extended for rest of the island. And believe me, the lion fish outside the park are large enough to be commercially viable for the fishermen to go after.
And I certainly agree with you that there is no way to eradicate them but I am absolutely convinced that we can control them in the waters of our beautiful island by eating the "other white meat".
