I am aware of current disapproval of spearfishing as being destructive to sea life.
But there seems to be a recent encouragement of spearfishing to try to control or eliminate the lionfish (Pterois volitans) in areas where it is a destructive recent invader (Mediterranean, Caribbean).
What is usual or official policy here?

The arrival of the red king crab in European seas has caused similar fears.
