Symposium offers powerful panels Story, photo by Janet Thomas Gosport Staff Writer

Retired Marine Lt. Gen. Duane Theissen, president and CEO of the Naval Aviation Museum Foundation, set the stage for two days of discussions as he welcomed guests to the annual Naval Aviation Symposium May 11. Theissen pointed out a group of ensigns and first lieutenants sitting in the audience. “They are the future of where we are going,” he said. Then he asked retired Navy Cmdr. Charles Luczak to stand up. Luczak, a veteran naval aviator, received his wings in 1944 and flew TBM Avengers. He went on to make the Navy a career flying patrol and support aircraft. “He flew through the Cold War. He flew in Vietnam. He is part of the legacy we inherited as naval aviators and that we are

trying to carry forward,” Theissen said. “That’s what it is all about. Who are we? What is our commitment? How are we going to do it?” Museum Director Sterling Gilliam, a retired Navy captain, said it was an honor for him to kick off the first panel discussion with past, present and future naval aviators in the audience. “So many of my mentors are in the room today,” he said. Gilliam recounted some of the recent naval aviation missions in critical areas around the world as he introduced the theme for this year: “Power Projection in the 21st Century.” “We are going to give you a peek under the hood of how the Navy projects that power around the world,” he said. Beginning in 1987, the symposium aims to preserve the See Symposium on page 2

New team at NHP focuses on healthy lifestyle changes Story, photo by Jason Bortz Naval Hospital Pensacola Public Affairs

Naval Hospital Pensacola is currently implementing a wellness and lifestyle program designed to help promote healthy lifestyle changes and improve the physical wellbeing of patients. The Medical Home Port Population Health program was created to provide patients with a health care support team focused on a patient’s individual wellness, fitness and weight loss needs. The program was started last year and was specifically created to assist patients who frequent the hospital with health conditions that could be better managed with lifestyle changes. Many of these patients have condi-

tions such as diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol or use tobacco products. By changing unhealthy habits, patients can improve their overall health and reduce the number of health care visits. “Many illnesses are lifestyle related,” said Laticia Jackson, health educator, Naval Hospital Pensacola. “Change does not happen overnight, but we are here to support our patients through making lifestyle changes and we work with them as a team.” Patients who are good candidates for the program are identified by their primary care manager (PCM) at NHP and are referred to the Health Promotion and Wellness Department.

Changes will help Sailors with credentialing process By MC 2 Taylor L. Jackson CIWT Public Affairs

Navy Credentialing Opportunities On-Line (COOL) announced two program changes and an added feature on its website May 1. A new policy update, to be eligible for Navy COOL credential funding support, reduces the minimum 12 or more months’ time remaining-inservice requirement down to six or more months. Sailors who have at least six months remaining on their current contracts are now authorized to pursue civilian licensing opportunities through Navy COOL. Waivers for those with less than six months remaining on their

current contract may be available; waiverable conditions are outlined on the Navy COOL website. “The time-in-service change allows Sailors to pursue credentials throughout their military life cycle, from completion of technical training until they become eligible for transition opportunities,” said Jim Johnson, the Navy’s voluntary education service chief. Navy COOL also announced a pilot program to fund credentials aligned with academic degrees or academic certificates. Until now, COOL services have assisted with providing credentialing See COOL on page 2

Naval Air Station, Pensacola, Fla.: A Bicentennial Defense Community Commanding Officer — Capt. Christopher T. Martin Public Affairs Officer — Patrick J. Nichols The Gosport nameplate pays homage to the 100th anniversary of naval aviation in 2011: the Centennial of Naval Aviation, or CONA. The image on the left side of the nameplate depicts Eugene Ely taking off in a Curtiss pusher bi-plane from the USS Pennsylvania Jan. 18, 1911. While Ely had taken off from the USS Birmingham two months earlier after his plane had been loaded on the ship, the USS Pennsylvania event was the first time a plane landed on and then took off from a U.S. warship.

The image on the right side is the Navy’s most modern fighter aircraft, the F-18 Super Hornet. Established in 1921 as the Air Station News, the name Gosport was adopted in 1936. A gosport was a voice tube used by flight instructors in the early days of naval aviation to give instructions and directions to their students.

It is best to remember simple life lesson: Never say never By Lisa Smith Molinari Military Spouse Columnist

I

swore I would never do it. But there I was on a gurney, begging my doctor to please, for the love of God, give me a flipping epidural right this minute. It was the birth of our third child, Lilly, and up until that point, I had insisted on enduring labor pains without medication. Ridiculous, I know. Something a crunchy California nurse had said during my first prenatal classes had me believing that epidurals caused prolonged contractions and emergency C-sections. However, twelve hours into labor number three, I discarded my fears, scruples and dignity, and begged the doctor to inject me with something – morphine, vodka, battery acid, anything – to stop the pain. Life is funny like that. One minute, we think we have it all figured out, and the next thing we know, we’ve changed our own rules. Milestones like marriage, childbirth, military service, teen parenting and financial responsibility present us with new sets of circumstances

requiring new standards. Before marriage, I rolled my eyes at those couples who I’d see canoodling in public. “They’re faking it,” I thought and believed that people in real relationships didn’t give each other eyelash kisses and lick ice cream off each other’s noses. I thought I’d never be corny like them. But then, I met my husband, Francis. Within weeks, we became one of those annoying couples who couldn’t be in each other’s presence without fingers laced or limbs intertwined. We would stare into each other’s eyes, sniff each other’s hair (Francis had hair in those days) and pick little bits of lint and crumbs off of each other’s clothing. Nauseating! During pregnancy, I proclaimed numerous “I nevers” that were eventually abandoned. I said I would never

About the columnist Lisa Smith Molinari, mother of three, was a military spouse for more than 25 years. Her husband recently retired from the Navy. Her syndicated column appears in military and civilian newspapers including Stars and Stripes, and on her blog, www.themeat andpotatoesoflife.com. nurse my baby in public, change his diaper while in an airplane seat, let him cry it out, strap him to a toddler leash, let him watch two Disney movies in a row, give his binky back after he dropped

it in the dirt, or scream like a lunatic at his pee-wee soccer games. Oh, well! Military spouses make rules to stay organized and deal with stress. Some proclaim they’ll never live on base, join spouses clubs, or let the kids eat Fruit Loops for dinner during deployments. But at some point, “I never” tends to turn into “Don’t knock it ’till you try it.” Desperate to make new friends after moving overseas, I did something I never thought I’d do – I joined an Army spouses’ bowling league. A typical Navy wife, I thought bowling was just a cover for to chitchat, beer and pizza. Little did I know, Army wives were serious about their bowling. After one wife complained that I stepped into her lane and laughed too loudly, I straightened up. Ironically, my team, which we named “Great Balls of Fire,” came in second place at the end of the season and I had made new friends after all. Parenting teenagers crushed my edicts like walnuts. Despite my many prohibitions, I eventually gave in and let them use electron-

ics in their rooms, watch Rrated movies and wear jeans to church. And I’ll admit it – I often use my cell phone to call them for dinner, even when they’re in the same house. Now that we feel the pinch of college tuition bills, I’ll push my shopping cart a half mile across the parking lot in a torrential downpour just to get my quarter back. I’ll wait around at the commissary for a rotisserie chicken to be reduced to $3.99. And after going to the movies (using a military discount, of course) I’ve even found popcorn in my bra and eaten it. Reality drives us to do things we previously thought tacky, lazy, or negligent. But we must remember that life’s challenges and milestones can also reveal courage, strength and character we never thought we had. So, when pondering whether to eat a smoked turkey leg while wearing a bathing suit during a family outing to a water park, choosing between a minivan or a sports car, or deciding whether or not to stay in the military for 20 years, experience instills this simple life lesson: Never say never.

NSWC Panama City expands advantage with unmanned aircraft certification By NSWC Panama City Division Public Affairs

P

ANAMA CITY, Fla. (NNS) – A U.S. Navy aviation unit received its unmanned aircraft systems (UAS) certification recently for research, development, test and evaluation missions. The aviation unit, the Dragon Masters, is a research, development, test and evaluation (RDT&E) unit comprised of 26 Navy enlisted and officers, that is now certified to fly these systems of less than 55 pounds for experimental purposes. NSWC PCD special projects officer Navy Lt. Jeff Mandel believes this safe-for-flight certification will pay huge dividends for NSWC PCD and the U.S. Navy as a whole by being able to test new systems that support mine warfare and littoral operations missions. “The commercial sector is building and improving small UASs at breakneck speed which the U.S. Navy would be hard pressed to keep up with using traditional acquisition pipelines,” Mandel said. “Now that we have our foot in the door, we can keep up with these new advances and rapidly bring new capabilities to our warfight-

ers all over the world.” The Dragon Masters unit collaborates and supports the mine warfare fleet that flies MH-53E and MH-60S helicopters for RDT&E missions. The certification is another way NSWC PCD is expanding the advantage between the U.S. and its adversaries. Mandel said having the ability to utilize UAS capabilities presents both unique opportunities and threats that should be analyzed. “There are several other NAVSEA commands wanting to utilize UAS capabilities, but none of them have an aviation entity attached to them like NSWC PCD does which puts them at a significant disadvantage to try and understand how to create an unmanned aviation program from scratch,” said Mandel. NSWC PCD fleet liaison officer in charge Lt. Cmdr. Thomas

Dill said the program was established to meet former Secretary of the U.S. Navy (SecNav) Ray Mabus’ direction and allow

NSWC PCD to continue flying UASs for the development of various warfare systems, sensors and tech transition protocol.

Aviation Command Retention Bonus continued From Navy Personnel Command Public Affairs

MILLINGTON, Tenn. (NNS) – The Aviation Command Retention Bonus (ACRB) has been continued, the Navy announced in a message May 9. According to NavAdmin 115/17, the ACRB is designed to retain those officers with the talent and command experience in our primary warfighting missions critical for the future of the Navy. ACRB applicants must be currently serving as commanding officer (CO) of an eligible operational (OP), operational training (OP-T) or special mission (SM) O-5 command in order to apply. Eligible commands are those OP, OP-T and SM O-5 commands for which the annual Aviation Command Screen Board selects officers to serve as CO, excluding second-in-grade/sequential/bonus/fleet replacement squadron commands. Eligibility to apply for the ACRB ends on the last day of command. Post command commanders not on contract who served as CO of an eligible OP, OP-T or special SM O-5 command be-

tween Oct. 1, 2016 and fiscal year 2017 ACRB Program NavAdmin release date are eligible to apply for a limited time. Signed contracts must be received by PERS-435 within 30 days of NavAdmin release. COs who take the bonus will be paid in two installments of $18,000 per year and are obligated to serve through their 21st and 22nd years of service – ensuring there are enough O-5s with command

experience – encouraging retention until these officers are in zone for promotion to O-6. Specific details, eligibility and application procedures can be found on the Navy Personnel Command Aviation Career Continuation Pay web page at www. public. navy.mil/ bupers-npc/officer/detailing/ aviation/ocm/pages/accp.aspx. For more news from Navy Personnel Command, visit www.navy.mil/local/npc.

NSWC PCD will qualify and designate the aviation detachment pilots as the initial cadre of air vehicle operators (AVO) and unmanned aircraft commanders. Soon after, an inaugural training class will qualify command civilians and non-aviation personnel for flight. On completion of the training and designation by the commanding officer, the graduated will become AVOs. Dill said he expects RDT&E involving UASs to cultivate a significant following from other DoD agencies. “We expect RDT&E involving UASs to grow, creating a dynamic developmental environment involving military and civilian personnel operating the systems to develop advanced capabilities for the fleet,” said Dill. “We will also be requesting additional flight clearances to operate an expanded inventory of small UAS.” For more information, visit www. navy. mil, www. facebook. com/ usnavy, or www. twitter. com/usnavy.

at this; don’t eat that. Drink more water; eat fewer carbohydrates. Count calories; reduce portion size. Eat breakfast as soon as you wake up; don’t eat anything within two hours of going to bed. Living a healthy lifestyle can be challenging and confusing, especially developing a healthy nutrition plan when there is a cornucopia of information available that is often times misleading or inaccurate. To assist patients who need help with weight management or any nutrition related condition or concern, Naval Hospital Pensacola’s (NHP) Nutrition Clinic can help patients develop a plan to follow and simplify the process. All TRICARE beneficiaries can take advantage of the Nutrition Clinic at NHP and referrals are not needed for general nutrition or weight management appointments. However, referrals from a primary care manager (PCM) at NHP are required for all other appointment reasons. Individual appointments with a registered dietitian typically last an hour for the initial appointment and follow up appointments are usually 30 minutes every four to six weeks. During the appointments a dietitian will work with patients to focus on their specific needs,

whether that be losing weight or developing a healthy nutrition plan to meet a specific lifestyle. While everyone is different, there are some basic nutrition tips that will help everyone. Starting off the morning with a healthy breakfast that includes lean protein, whole grains, fruits and vegetables will provide energy to start off the day. Half of your plate should be fruits and vegetables, and watch portion sizes. A serving size of meats for example should be three ounces or the size of a deck cards, and starches are a half cup or the palm of your hand. Regular physical activity is also important. Adults should get at least 30 minutes of physical activity on most days of the week, which could be something as simple as walking. Before starting any physical activity, patients should check with their PCM to ensure it is safe to begin physical activity. The registered dietitians at NHP will go over individualized tips with every patient as well as identifying lifestyle changes that patients can make to live a

healthier life. “One of the most common improvements patients can make to quickly promote healthier eating is cutting out empty calories,” said Lt. Cassie Sipe, department head for the Nutrition Clinic at NHP. “Empty calories provide no nutritional value, but can lead to significant weight gain over time.” Examples of empty calories are high sugar items such as sodas or sweetened beverages such as sweet tea, energy drinks, fruit beverages and alcohol. A 12ounce soda may contain approximately 120 calories that provides no nutritional value. Drinking six

sodas a day can add more than 700 calories to a person’s daily intake. Sipe also recommends eating foods in their most natural form instead of highly processed foods with added sugar, salt, fat or unnecessary additives. “Eating fresh fruit, which has more fiber, is better than drinking fruit juices that are usually higher in sugar and calories for a smaller portion size,” said Sipe. “Another example would be to make plain brown rice and add your own low sodium herbs and spices instead of using a seasoned rice mix.” Patients of all ages have dif-

ferent nutrition needs as their lives and bodies change. Maintaining healthy habits is an important way to lower the risk of cancer, diabetes, heart disease and other health risks. The Nutrition Clinic is open Monday – Friday from 7:30 a.m. – 4 p.m. Self-referral appointments for general nutrition or weight management can be made by calling 505-7171 and online appointments are also available using TRICARE’s Patient Portal at www.TRICAREOnline.com. For all conditions other than weight management or general nutrition, ask your PCM for a nutrition referral.

5K honors fallen service members By Ens. Daniel Balch NAS Whiting Field Public Affairs

Naval Air Station Whiting Field (NASWF) presented a five kilometer Run for the Fallen May 12 honoring service members who died while serving their country. The event, sponsored by NASWF MWR and Fleet and Family Support Center, was held to help recognize May as the Navy Gold Star Program Awareness Month. A Gold Star family is the name given to those who have lost a loved one in military service. The name comes from the service flags displayed by families of deployed service members, a tradition dating back to World War I. The flag, a white rectangle with a red border, features blue stars for members in the military. The blue star is replaced by a gold star if a family member dies. Runners gathered outside of Mulligan’s Snack Bar at 7:30 a.m. for a brief ceremony and the 5K kicked-off shortly after morning colors. Participants ran

Milton recognizes NASWF Sailor for heroic actions Story photo by Jay Cope NAS Whiting Field Public Affair

The City of Milton honored a Naval Air Station Whiting Field Sailor recently by reading a proclamation May 9 during a city council meeting. During the monthly meeting, Milton Mayor Wesley Meiss called for a pause in the meeting’s normal business and requested that MA1 Joseph Pellicano come to the lectern. The mayor reminded the audience of the events of Jan. 16, when Pellicano, who was coming in to work, and RP2 Aaron Spengler, who was driving home, stopped at the scene of an accident where a mother was holding a child in obvious need of medical attention. Spengler helped calm the mother, while Pellicano administered CPR to the 17-month-old child. After a few minutes, the child gasped and began to move. About that time, emer-

gency services arrived on the scene and prepared the child for transport. The young boy has since made a full recovery from his injuries. Meiss stood as he announced the proclamation, which read in part: “MA1 Pellicano’s exceptional abilities, courage and quick action demonstrated his devotion to others, and; now, therefore, I, Wesley Meiss, Mayor of the City of Milton, along with the Milton City Council, recognize Pellicano as a positive role model for everyone and encourage them to support and participate in the wellbeing of other individuals and thereby do hereby proclaim today as: MA1 Joseph Pellicano Day.” Every member of the audience stood and applauded as the mayor and the city council members stepped down one-by-one to the floor to shake Pellicano’s hand. Meiss offered the floor to NAS

Whiting Field Commanding Officer Capt. Todd Bahlau, who attended the meeting with about a dozen other Whiting Field shipmates. “Thank you so much for recognizing his accomplishments,” Bahlau said. “We train our Sailors not to be bystanders and Pellicano certainly epitomizes that mentality. We are very proud of his actions.”

Pellicano said he just happened to be the right person, in the right place, at the right time. “That’s not what I expected coming in to work that day, but I am glad I stopped. That’s what we are supposed to do for people – for each other,” he said in a previous statement. “I would want someone to do that for my kid if I wasn’t there.”

When

takes takes wing wing

By Mike O’Connor Gosport Editor

T

e r m i t e s . That single word should send a shiver up your spine. If it doesn’t, here’s a phrase that will: “It’s termite swarming season.” Here on the Gulf Coast, we are home to several species of the destructive house-eating insects. In the spring, established colonies of termites send out reproductive alates or “swarmers,” so named since they can cover a home in thousands. When termites swarm, they are drawn to lights, many times the porch or security lights of a home. Shedding their wings, the termites find their way into the structure. If undiscovered, they will eat wood until it is just a lightweight shell. Frequently the damage goes unnoticed until it is severe – even support beams can become as light as balsa wood, eventually causing structures to fail. Unfortunately, Gulf Breeze and Pensacola are home to an especially devastating species of termite, the Formosan. An established Formosan colony – consisting of millions of workers, soldiers and reproductives – can eat up to a pound of wood a day. Originally from mainland China, Formosans have been established in the United States for about 50 years. They have been found in Alabama, Texas, Louisiana, California, Florida, Georgia, Hawaii, Mississippi, North and South Carolina and Tennessee. The larger colony size – several million termites vs. several hundred thousand termites for native subterranean termite species – makes Formosans a greater threat. They are vigorous, aggressive and a greater threat than native termites, causing more structure damage at a faster rate. Formosans chew through asphalt, plaster, plastics and even through copper and lead sheeting. When they attack a home, they use saliva, dirt and wood to create nests called cartons. Mud tubes leading from the ground are a telltale

What’s bugging you may cost you thousands of dollars. Common name: Formosan subterranean termite. Scientific name: Coptotermes formosanus Shiraki. Either way you say it, these pests are expensive trouble – and found in this area. Reproducing Formosan termites called alates or “swarmers” fly from the nest on calm evenings to create a new colony. During their dispersal flights, they are drawn to lights – such as porch or security lights – and the winged insects in the thousands can cover a structure, shed their wings and begin looking for a food source – the wood in your home.

sign of a termite infestation, but once established, Formosans can live without soil contact indefinitely. Queens can produce more than 1,000 eggs a day; soldiers constitute 10 percent or so of a colony. Termites, or just ants? Both termites and ants have two sets of wings, but ant wings are different sizes; all four termite wings are the same size. Ants have elbowed antennae and narrowed waists, termites have short, straight antennae and thick waists. What you can do: Pressure-treated wood, which contains preservatives such as creosote, pentachlorophenol or copper arsenate, needs to be used where a structure comes in contact with soil. Formosans don’t like to eat pressure-treated wood but they frequently travel the treated wood to find and destroy untreated wood. Any moisture problem areas – whether caused by roof or air conditioning issues must be corrected. Roof gutters should carry water as far away from your home’s foundation as possible, in order

to deny the insects easy access to moisture. Treatment: Termite fortifications include injecting chemical barriers, called “trenching,” into the soil around your home. A number of effective termiticides are used by professionals which kill the insects through contact. Holes are drilled into areas which otherwise cannot be reached – under concrete slabs, for example – and the chemicals injected. Pre-construction treatment of the foundation is the best prevention. Baits are also used to check for the presence of termites and to identify the species. Plastic spikes containing a bait are placed at intervals around the home’s foundation and inspected regularly. When termites are discovered, the bait station is replaced with one containing a sophisticated poison, which is carried by workers back to the nest. Do not hesitate to contact a licensed pest control professional if you suspect termite damage. If termites are at work in your home, the clock is already ticking.

Studer Foundation sponsors area students to attend NASP’s National Flight Academy From Malerie Shelton National Flight Academy

M

ore than 50 students in Escambia and Santa Rosa counties will get the experience of a lifetime this summer at the National Flight Academy (NFA), an aviation-based educational program designed to be fully and intensively immersive. The Studer Foundation has sponsored 55 “deployment spots” to students in two local counties, amounting to $50,000 in scholarships. Students will attend the six-day deployment program July 23 through July 28. Students interested in applying for the scholarship should contact their guidance counselor, math or science teacher. “The Studer Foundation’s focus is on education. We are grateful to have such a great learning venue right in our backyard,” said founder Quint Studer. “We feel that investing in our area youth is a great investment with a wonderful return as these students will carry their learnings with them the

rest of their lives.” The National Flight Academy’s adventure begins on a landlocked, virtual aircraft carrier – Ambition (CVT 11) – an immersive, aviation-based program that is revolutionizing Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM) for students in seventh to 12th grades. Students eat on the mess deck, sleep in staterooms, plan missions and fly in networked flight simulators. The National Flight Academy combines flight, aviation missions, teamwork and communication to create an inspirational and engaging experience. “Collaboration between the local school system, elected leadership and the business community is

key to improving the quality of education for our youth,” said Lt. Gen. Duane Thiessen, president

of the National Flight Academy. “With support from Quint and Rishy Studer, more children will have access to our stimulating and exciting learning experience.” About the National Flight Academy: The National Flight Academy, located aboard Naval Air Station Pensacola, is designed to address the seconcerns of rious declining STEM skills and standards in our country. The academy’s mission is to inspire students who subsequently return to their parent

schools and seek out the more challenging courses in Science, Technology, Engineering and Math. The NFA is a self-supporting, tuition-based educational program. NFA

welcomes support from individuals, corporations and foundations for both our scholarship program and general operation funds. The National Flight Academy, a pro-

gram of the Naval Aviation Museum Foundation Inc., is authorized but not endorsed or funded by the U.S. Navy or U.S. government.

Morale, Welfare and Recreation The NASP Morale, Welfare and Recreation (MWR) department has a number of upcoming events and activities. For more information, call 452-3806, ext. 3100, or go to the MWR website at www.navymwrpensacola.com.

From Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission

The Pensacola Lionfish Removal and Awareness Day Festival and Tournament will be from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. May 20-21 at Plaza de Luna. The event will feature celebrity chef and fillet demonstrations, lionfish tastings, family-friendly games and activities, and more than 40 art, diving and conservation vendors. Vendors will include Jimmy Buffett’s Margaritaville, Whole Foods Market, iHeartMedia, Coast Watch Alliance, Visit Pensacola, Escambia County Division of Marine Resources, Florida Sea Grant, the city of Pensacola, Navarre Beach Marine Science Station, tournament host Gulf Coast Lionfish Coalition, Guy Harvey Magazine, Dive Rite, SHELLArt, ZooKeeper and Dive Pros. Lionfish Removal and Awareness Day is an annual event sponsored by the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission to raise awareness about lionfish, a nonnative, invasive species that has a potentially negative impact on native species and habitat. To sign up for the Pensacola tournament, which is being presented by the Gulf Coast Lionfish Coalition, go to Lionfish WorldChampionship.com. Recreational and commercial lionfish hunters can get rewarded for lionfish removal efforts by participating in the commission’s revamped Lionfish Challenge. The incentive

program starts May 20 and ends on Labor Day (Sept. 4). New this year, lionfish hunters can participate in a recreational or commercial category (all participants who have an active Saltwater Products License and who have commercial lionfish sales within the past year must participate in the commercial category). Rewards for recreational and commercial participants include: • A commemorative coin. • An event T-shirt. • Lionfish Hall of Fame recognition on the MyFWC.com website. • If qualified before July 26, the opportunity to take an additional spiny lobster per day during the 2017 sport season (July 26-27). Participants may also qualify for additional prizes. The recreational and commercial harvesters who check in the most lionfish will be crowned

Florida’s Lionfish king or queen and Florida’s commercial champion. Both will be recognized at the 2017 Lionfish Safari Sept. 10 in St. Petersburg. To enter the program, participants must register online at MyFWC.com/Lionfish. After registration, participants may e-mail photos of their first 25 qualifying lionfish (or trip tickets totaling at least 25 pounds sold for commercial harvesters). Be sure to include the name of the harvester, the date harvested and your signature in the photo (written on a piece of paper next to the fish for example). Participants in the recreational category must bring the tails of any lionfish harvested in excess of the initial 25 to an FWC-approved checkpoint. To find a list of checkpoints, go to MyFWC.com/Lionfish and click on “Lionfish Challenge.�
