New home for exhibition
The Lionfish exhibition that was hosted by the Bermuda Underwater Exploration Institute has found a new home at Gorham’s and will later travel to Dockyard.
Gorham’s general manager, Andrew Mackay, said: “We were thrilled to welcome the Lionfish travelling exhibit from BUEI when they needed to make way for the new America’s Cup exhibit and showcase it here for a short period of time before it heads to Dockyard.
“We have been a supporter of the Lionfish Taskforce for several years now and other groups that are trying to tackle this silent predator.
“It only seemed logical to display the boards here in the store to help bring more awareness to the island about what this voracious fish is doing to our fish population.”
Corey Eddy, a Lionfish Taskforce member and head of the Bermuda Lionfish Culling Programme, added: “With this new exhibit open to the public in one of the most public and highly trafficked places in Bermuda, we’re very confident that everyone will get the message and share that with their friends and families.”
