PALM BEACH COUNTY, Fla. - The lionfish invasion of South Florida waters continues unabated.

Randy Jordan of Emerald Dive Charters has the latest proof. He recently discovered a two pound, sixteen inch lionfish.

Jordan said he sees more than thirty lionfish on every dive and has killed 331 of them to date.

The fish have been killing nutrients around South Florida coral reefs.

Jordan has designed what he calls a 'lion tamer.' It's a safe way to shoot the lion fish.

Jordan will be the guest speaker at the Loxahatchee River District in Jupiter February 26 at 6:30 p.m.
