This is a personal journal in a public space, kept by Jessica Moyer and Brett Matulis. We are not so vain as to believe that complete strangers are interested in our daily lives. Rather, this blog was created when we decided to move to the British West Indies. It is intended to serve as a way for us to share news, post photos, and eventually, revisit memories. It was created for us and for those of our friends and families that are interested in our lives on the remote island of South Caicos.

Lionfish Hunter
It's been a while since I first wrote about having any reservations about participating in the eradication of Lionfish. As I've spent more time here, learned about the effect Lionfish have on the ecosystems, and witnessed the rising population (I rarely go on a dive and not see multiple fish), I've accepted that they are disruptive and need to be removed. Though I have yet to personally catch or kill one, I've aided and abetted others in doing so. I've spent considerable time developing tools to make it easier and more effective - most recently I added a barb onto our homemade Lionfish spear. Here's a video of it in action:
