Join us for a free screening of the NOVA Documentary Ocean Invaders! Lionfish, long prized in home aquariums, have invaded the Atlantic and are now one of the ocean's most successful invasive species. Join ocean explorer Danni Washington on a journey to discover how they took over, why they are doing so much damage, and what can be done about it.
Tim Robinson has taken on the mighty mission of tackling the invasive lionfish crisis. But that’s not all – Tim is a lifelong entrepreneur with deep roots in philanthropic endeavors. In 2021, Tim made a bold leap and snatched up ZooKeeper, transforming it from a humble, one-color, garage-built startup into a global contender in the hunting and ocean conservation arena. For the past several years, Tim has been a vibrant force, creating challenges and paving paths for others.

Unfortunately, REEF’s Winter Lionfish Derby Event at Sharkey’s Pub and Galley for April 4, 2020 has been cancelled. We have exhausted the options of hosting a remote competition where teams can just drop off their fish, but at this time we are going adhere to the recommendations worldwide and encourage social distancing.
We will try to reschedule the Lionfish Derby competition in some capacity if possible in the upcoming months.
