It’s About Education! In order to find real solutions to deal with the invasive Lionfish we need to continually educate the public. We are Lionfish Central, a 501(c)3 charitable organization dedicated to providing tools for all sectors of the Lionfish Community. We will use this platform as a way to educate about everything lionfish, We will also utilize this to make updates on the many projects we have going on throughout the 4 regions hit the hardest – The Gulf of Mexico, the Atlantic, the Caribbean and the Mediterranean Sea.

    E76 Elsie Gringley a Young Artist

    Elsie Gringley is a young artist living in the Cayman Islands or Bermuda from time to time. She is a talented artist and daughter of a well-known marine scientist so her knowledge of lionfish and the ocean is a big part of her art.

    E75 Dr Gretchen Goodbody-Gringley CCMI

    Dr Goodbody-Gringley is CCMI's Director of Research, heading up CCMI’s Vision 2025 Reef Resilience and Restoration Research team. Previously, Dr Goodbody-Gringley was an Assistant Scientist at the Bermuda Institute of Ocean Sciences (BIOS) where she led the Reef Ecology and Evolution Laboratory.   Dr Goodbody-Gringley's research focuses on population structure, reproductive ecology, and genetic connectivity of a variety of organisms that inhabit tropical coral reef ecosystems ranging from inshore shallow reefs down to the mesophotic zone, with the goal of understanding how ecosystems function in order to maintain biodiversity. To address questions related to reef health, evolution, resilience, and recovery, she combines large-scale in situ ecological surveys, small-scale laboratory experiments, and molecular ecology. Dr Goodbody-Gringley’s current projects include a collaboration with A. Trembanis from the University of Delaware using autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs) in combination with technical diving to map deep reef systems and couple the physical environment with biological communities. She is also working with H. Putnam from the University of Rhode Island and J. Bruno from the University of North Carolina to determine thermal tolerances of corals to climate change and the capacity for corals to adapt over a single generation. In 2019, she traveled to Israel to work with T. Mass from Haifa University to explore how patterns of development differ between corals on shallow and deep reefs in the Red Sea.   Gretchen completed her BSc at the University of Georgia and her Ph.D. at Harvard University in the Department of Organismic and Evolutionary Biology. She then held postdoctoral positions at Mote Marine Laboratory and University of Bologna, Italy. Gretchen has a broad background in benthic marine ecology and is particularly interested in the evolution of life history strategies and how that in turn serves to structure population dynamics and maintain genetic diversity.

    E72 Tim Shivers and Heath Powell of Deep Water Mafia

    DeepWater Mafia was founded by a group of Christian Mississippi Divers who enjoy Spearfishing, Underwater Photography, or just going Offshore on the Gulf of Mexico. The club is governed by the DWM-9 Board of Directors and has over 100 members spread across the northern Gulf of Mexico. Tim Shivers (The Timinator) Born and raised in South Mississippi. Grew up fishing, crabbing, and cast netting here in Ocean Springs. Learned to dive in 2005 but only did resort diving till I met The Pirate, Salty Bones , and Torch. They invited Shark Whisperer and I to dive with them and we were immediately OBSESSED with the sport!!! Heath Powell I started diving in 2002 when I graduated high school, after that my whole family got certified and we fell in love with spear fishing. Shortly after I contracted overseas and had the opportunity to dive all over the world, but our gulf waters always brought me home! There is nothing like dropping down on an oil rig and watching the marine life. It’s a whole different world down there! Joining the Mafia has been one of the best things for me. It has giving me the opportunity to dive more than I could ever dream of.

    E71 Captain Andy Ross

    Captain Andy Ross was raised in a military family and was fortunate enough to have lived in some pretty amazing places like the Philippines, Guam, and Hawaii. Captain Andy earned his first dive certification in Guam, and has since found his way under the waters of Honduras, Belize, Palau, Mexico, and of course the Pensacola Gulf Coast. Captain Andy’s appreciation for the underwater world eventually led him to become a divemaster, where he began learning the ins and outs of the scuba charter industry. Now a licensed captain and technical diver with thousands of dives under his belt, Captain Andy has built a reputation as an experienced charter Captain with a total commitment to the safety and comfort of his passengers.
