Request to Speak under Public Petition Please print Name: Bill D'Antuono Address: 10082 Vanderbilt Drive Naples.FL 34108 Phone: 239-269-5728 Date of the Board Meeting you wish to speak 02/12!13 Must circle yes or no: is this subject matter under litigation at this time?Yes is this subject matter an ongoing Code Enforcement cas Yes Note: If either answer is "yes",the Board will hear the item but w ave no discussion regarding the item after it is presented. Please explain in detail the reason you are requesting to speak(attach additional page if necessary): Collier County is the only county in Florida with an outright ban on spearfishing.The spearfishing ban has been on the books for over 60 years and needs to be revisited.This ban includes lionfish.which are only effectively taken with spearing devices.I nvasive liontish populations have exploded in the Caribbean and E Coast of Florida in recent years. It is no fluke there are lionfish in local waters as evidenced by recent catch and incidents. The only way to dim the impact on lionfish is by harvesting methods via a submerged diver. Lionfish have been caught as close as 200 yards from Vanderbilt Beach as reported by Naples Daily News_ Lionfish right now are a hot topic amongst marine biologists.As we learn more about this invasive species each discovery seems to be more stunning than the last.The biggest issues with liontish overpopulation are the rate at which they reproduce.A female can lay 30.000 eggs A WEEK and over 2 million in a liftime.Th eggs are not eaten by other fish so most are hatched.Lionfish are aggressive and territorial fish which mean they decimate marine fishes on reefs like Collier in a short time eating small grouper,snapper and other ree fish.Also lionfish have no natural predators in local waters and the only ones targeting& able to catch then are divers using a device designed to take them out. spearfishing is a more eco-friendly method of taking fish than conventional hook and line fishing. Spear ing anglers do not use monofilament.cast nets or other methods that can pollute reefs for centuries. Their catches are specific resulting in less bycatch. Current Florida laws regulating spearfishing state you cannot spear witting 100 yards of a beach,pier or bridge where fishing is allowed.These laws are effective in keel ing everyone safe. I would like to help save our local fisheries.aid the growth of our artificial reef program and lift the ban on spearfishing within Collier State Waters.Also organize derbies in Collier like they do elsewhere without breaking any laws. Coastal towns all around the Caribbean have adapted their laws in accordance with the invasive lionfish. Packet Page-20- 2/12/2013 6.A. Please explain in detail the action you are asking the Commission to take(attach additional page if necessary): Request FWC and The State of Florida to open Collier County waters for spearfishing inside state waters. My goal with this petition is to shed light on the lionfish invasion,educate the local public on the devas- tating effects of a lionfish overpopulation and promote the edibiliy of this fish. Once people figure out lionfish is one of the best tasting fish,public interest will be drawn to hunt them in local waters. This is a statewide problem that needs to be addressed. Local efforts are already underway and FGCU has biolog- its actively working and studiny this fish.

By SCOTT BUTHERUS Sunday,January 13,2013 While fishing in about 10 feet of water on the hard-bottom reef patches just 200 yards from shore near the Ritz Carlton, Mike Damanski confirmed the inevitable when something unexpected showed up on the end of his line. Damanski,who was out fishing with his mom and some friends for his birthday last week, landed a "15-or 16-ounce" red lionfish.The photo soon made the rounds on Facebook, unbeknown to Damanski that it was the first documented case of the species within the state water boundary of Collier County, according to the U.S. Geological Survey's Nonindigenous Aquatic Species database. "When I pulled the lionfish up I don't think anybody expected it," Damanski said. "I know they are destroying our reefs so we killed it and tossed it in the cooler." Make no mistake: lionfish are pigeons with a peacock's plumage.And once they arrive, they can cause irreparable harm to the fragile underwater ecosystem. Lionfish have a voracious appetite, and will eat nearly anything that they can fit into their mouths. The fish can easily wipe out a population of juvenile fish that rely on the reef habitat for protection, and compete with native species such as snapper or the commercially crucial grouper for resources. Bryan Fluech, director of the Collier County Sea Grant program, points out that once a population of lionfish has moved in, the existing marine life on a reef can be reduced by 80 percent in just a few weeks. "Many species were affected, including cardinal fish, parrot fish, damselfish and others," he said. "Research in the Bahamas has documented consumption of juvenile economically important fish. Therefore,the potential to upset the natural balance of coral reef ecosystems is very real. " It was only a matter of time before the invasive species showed up in local water.The ornately decorated fish with bright crimson stripes and long—yet venomous— http://www.naplesnews.com/news/2013/jan Packet Page-22-aglers-surprise-catch-signals-... 1/30/2013 They're here: Angler's surprise catch signals arrival of invasive lionfish :Naples Daily Ne... " 2/12/2013 6.A. pectoral and dorsal fins have long been a prized species for marine aquarium enthusiasts. However they made it from their native habitat of the Indian and South Pacific oceans to the Caribbean in the mid-1980s, there is no doubt that the lionfish have spread like a plague over the last decade. Besides its aesthetic attributes, one thing that made the lionfish a popular aquarium species is its hardiness and ability to adapt to a variety of habitats. Reports of lionfish have now surfaced along the coast of the Atlantic Ocean as far north as Narragansett, R.I., and along the coast of the Gulf of Mexico all the way to the southernmost tip of Texas. The Florida Keys, considered the epicenter of the invasion in North America since the first fish was reported in January 2009, has had approximately 30,000 documented cases, according to the Keys-based Reef Environmental Education Foundation. Those numbers continue to grow, although the extent of their population is difficult to gauge. "One of our biggest concerns is how quickly they spread.When they come into an area, they take over," Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission spokesperson Amanda Nalley said. "One of the reasons it is difficult to estimate population numbers is because they also found in depths that are well beyond SCUBA range,which can lead to a very large underestimation of their numbers," Fluech said. "Navy submarines have reported sightings in over 500 feet.Also, because of their cryptic nature, it's hard to get an accurate count even if they are in shallow waters." Although there have been reports of lionfish outside the state water boundary(federal water begins nine miles from the shoreline),the local waters of Collier could be especially vulnerable to the species. Although natural structure isn't as prevalent as other points along Florida's coast, there are several hard-bottom patch reefs locally—like just off Wiggins Pass State Park— as well as artificially created reefs and other structure like discarded vessels or shipwrecks. The limited structure in local waters makes any available site prime real estate for lionfish to open a spawning ground. "There have been confirmed reports 75 and 100 miles out. Counties further north— Lee and Charlotte for example—have had them much closer before. I wouldn't be surprised if we have had them closer,too, but they just weren't spotted,"Fluech said. "I can tell you that every dive I have done,there has been lionfish,"said Bill D'Antuono, president of the Naples Spearfishing League. "This includes the Baja California wreck 60 miles offshore of Gordon's Pass, and the ledges at 30 and 15 miles." Combined with a rapid reproduction rate and a year-round spawning season, eradicating them has proved to be a Sisyphean task anywhere the fish has been allowed to gain a foothold. http://www.naplesnews.com/news/2013/jar Packet Page-23-nglers-surprise-catch-signals-... 1/30/2013 They're here:Angler's surprise catch signals arrival of invasive lionfish :Naples Daily Ne... D`.."° A 2/12/2013 6.A. nnn There are several theories as to why the lionfish took so long to appear in the waters just off Collier County. One study conducted on reefs in the Caribbean by the University of Queensland in 2011 found an inverse relationship between the amount of Nassau grouper on a reef system and the prevalence of lionfish within that system. Lionfish do not have a natural predator to control the population. Southwest Florida has a large population of goliath grouper, but those familiar with the local grouper and lionfish populations say the goliaths haven't seemed to develop a taste for lionfish. "Lionfish have been reported in the stomachs of large grouper, but laboratory behavioral experiments suggest that grouper actively avoid lionfish," Fluech said. The most likely explanation for why it's taken so long for lionfish to surface locally is the same reason future attempts at their removal will be a challenge: There aren't many people looking. The majority of lionfish sighting reports come from recreational divers —more specifically, spear fishermen. By law, spearfishing of any type is illegal in county waters. Stemming from a county ordinance in 1956 intended to end the practice of gigging snook from the shoreline in shallow waters during their mating season,the law remains on the books thanks to the creation of the Fish and Wildlife Commission, which adopted the local ordinance as a "special act of local application."This means that new laws, even at the state level, do not automatically supersede the original ordinance, such as the rule enacted by the FWC in August of 2012, making lionfish an unregulated species that did not require a license to catch. Even though FWC regulations prohibit the taking of many protected species by use of a spearing device, creating redundancy with the existing Collier law, it remains a misdemeanor to enter the water within the nine-mile boundary carrying a spear gun. "Lionfish are not exempt from that rule,"said Sgt. Dave Bruening of the Collier Sheriff Marine Bureau, adding that cases of illegal spearfishing have been rare in his six years of service. Members of the local spearfishing community would like to see those laws changed. Since lionfish are rarely taken by hook-and-line, the only control method to be even remotely successful is spearing. "If the county wants to change the laws,they can come to us and request to change it," Nalley said. "All they have to do is ask." Members of the Collier County Commission did not respond to a request for an interview on the matter. http://www.naplesnews_com/news/2013/jar " ''' nglers-surprise-catch-signals-... 1/30/2013 Packet Page-24- They're here: Angler's surprise catch signals arrival of invasive lionfish : Naples Daily Ne... n^^° A A 2/12/2013 6.A. In a recent article by Mickie Anderson of the University of Florida, he found that while it is unlikely they will be completely eradicated, it may be"possible to keep them under control—in specific, targeted areas and using plenty of manpower." Should laws be changed to allow spearfishing, or at least the taking of lionfish via specialized spears, D'Antuono feels there would be a significant increase by the local dive community to target them, perhaps even organizing "derby-style"tournaments similar to those held in the Keys. Lionfish also make excellent table fare,and many divers may seek them out for their dinner plates. "I think if we opened up spearing in Collier County, it would give people interested in popping a lionfish a better advantage of getting in the water and doing so," D'Antuono said. "Maybe change the rules so that you have to be on a boat and no shore spearfishing." "It is an important issue statewide and we hope that people go out and remove as many lionfish as possible," Nalley said. -�. ®2013 Scripps Newspaper Group—Online http://www.naplesnews.com/news/2013/jar.

Collier County Commisioner: End the Ban of Spearfishing in Collier County, FL Petition by Naples Spearfishing League Spearfishing has been outlawed in Naples since the 50's. This law has to be modified to keep up with current trends and culture in the state of Florida. Why is Collier County the only county in Florida with an outright ban of spearfishing?There are many reasons why spearfishing should be allowed closer to shore. The recent invasion of lionfish in local waters has been documented as far as a few hundred yards off the beach. Lionfish spread rapidly and if left uncontrolled will undoubtedly create a stranglehold on game fisheries crucial to many aspects of our local economy. Spearfishermen are the only line of defense against this invasive species that WILL threaten important stocks of gamefish for decades to come if left unchecked.RIGHT NOW LIONFISH ARE ILLEGAL TO SPEAR IN COLLIER COUNTY. Limited water visibility limits spearfishing inside of 9nm in Naples anyways, so spearfishing is already limited in those regards. On the east coast where spearfishing thrives you can expect more than 20 foot of visibility on a horrible day. Twenty foot of visibility within 9nm in the Gulf of Mexico would be an outstanding day. This law must be revised. One possible solution would be to make spearfishing illegal from the shore but allowing it from boats that display proper diving flags. According to FWC spokeswoman Amanda Nalley, All Collier County Commissioners have to do is request a change to this law and they will revise it. We ask you, Commissioners, make the request. As of now, it is illegal to stop your boat within 9nm offshore of Naples with a speargun. We propose a change to this outdated and biased law that will have drastic effects on Iocal fishing for decades to come. Lionfish are here to stay and we need to educate the public on their edibility and exponential reproduction. Sign this petition and help save the Gulf of Mexico and Naples fishing. -Naples Spearfishing League Packet Page-26- 2/12/2013 6.A.
