SSI Invasive Species Management

Description

Who knows the story about lionfish taking over in some regions of the world because they don’t actually belong there and have no natural predators?
Invasive species are one of the most current and critical topics in (marine) ecology. Such invaders rapidly transform entire habitats, sometimes with catastrophic consequences for the environment, economy, and, not least, divers. What are these invasive organisms and where do they come from? What role does humanity play in their spread? And can we combat or manage these invasions?
This is precisely what the SSI Equipment Specialty on invasive species is about, primarily focusing on lionfish hunting. If you’re less interested in spearfishing and more in ecology, you’ll find that in our Unique Specialty “Invasive Species Ecology.”

In our SSI Invasive Species Management course, you’ll get:

• The SSI materials for the “Invasive Species Management” specialty

Since hunting and spearfishing with diving equipment is prohibited in our region and absolutely not practical locally, the dives for this course must be conducted in one of the few places worldwide where it is permitted. We will gladly transfer your course materials to the center of your choice.
To complete the course, you need an SSI account. If you don’t have one yet, you can register here: SSI Registration – Punkfish Diving
We will activate the course materials within a few hours after your order.
