Throw Oprah in the mix and I think we have this lionfish problem licked.

She could pass out coupons for two free grilled lionfish.

Most likely it has to do with the indigenous vs. invasive aspect.

In an area that they are indigenous to, they are part of the natural balance and food chain and likely have more natural predators.

In an area they have invaded, they upset the natural balance and they have a more explosive growth due to abundant food and little predation.

Hello Lionfish Haters...

I am on my way to Cozumel in less than 12 hours (I know...don't envy me too much). I will be on the lookout for Lionfish in Cozumel armed with chopsticks, snorkel and whatever else I can use to tame the wiley beast. Wish me luck, gang. Hold down the home front.
I will have my laptop with me for up to the minute reporting.

Over and out,
Mary

IS that like busing kids from one neighborhood to another to go to school??

Close, but not quite. It's more like a bunch of kids sneaking aboard the bus and going to another neighborhood to vandalize the school.

Then burning it to the ground and taking over the neighborhood for their gang activities That would be a more apt comparison, I think.
