Person of the Week

Fine Artist, Owner of Kindled Arts and Art by Aaron Lynn. Aaron became involved with the lionfish community roughly 5 -7 years ago when he was introduced to lionfish within the restaurant industry.

Stacy has been an avid SCUBA diver since 1973 and lives to dive. She has an enduring passion for ocean conservation and co-founded Lionfish University with JV Hart in 2012. Their goal is to raise awareness of the importance of maintaining these fragile ecosystems in the global community, and to fund efforts to mitigate the devastating effects of this invasive species.

I see the ocean as an awe-inspiring bioenergetic system, as a wilderness I hope to preserve for future generations, and as a resource – a means from which I and many others support our families.
