From James:
Dear All,
We are excited to announce the release of the Lionfish Web Portal. Here is the link: http://lionfish.gcfi.org/index.php.
The web portal provides much information and services that will be useful to coastal managers, researchers, educators, and the general public. Here are a few key features:
- Live feeds on the front page including twitter (#lionfish), google news, youtube video, Flickr, etc.). Make the web porgal your home page to keep up to date!
- A searchable database of lionfish related literature (e.g., check out all the 2014 lionfish article citations)
- Image and video contests
- Myths busted, fact sheets, videos, lists of educational websites, workshops and conferences, class room ideas
- Researcher corner and forum where researchers can interact and share questions and answers (great for students)
- Control methods and commercial harvesting resources (lists of products, vendors, commercial harvesters)
- Links to lionfish management plans
- and much, much, more...
Many thanks to GCFI, REEF, CONANP, ICRI, NOAA, Oregon State University, University of the West Indies, and NC State University, and many other partners for their assistance with developing this portal. Please visit the about us page for a complete list of authors.
NOAA has issued a press release (see
http://www.noaanews.noaa.gov/stories2015/20150106_lionfishportal.html ).
Please promote through your institutions and various social media outlets. Let's continue to work together to keep the portal up to date (send updates to Alex Bogdanoff
<alex.bo...@noaa.gov>) and relevant to user needs as we work to reduce the impacts of lionfish.
Warmest regards,
James
Happy New Year!
