Group launched its \u2018Scotia Goes Green On Lion Fish: Let\u2019s Eat Them to Beat Them\u2019 campaign on March 22 at the University of the West Indies Port Royal Marine Laboratory and Biodiversity Centre in Kingston.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Permanent Secretary in the Ministry of Agriculture and Fisheries, Donovan Stanberry, in his remarks at the launch, said the lionfish, due to its pervasive nature, has compounded the Government\u2019s efforts to replenish the local fish stock.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">He noted however, that the fish \u201cis an enemy from which some good can be derived\u201d, noting that it is \u201cquite fortuitous that we can, in fact, consume the lion fish\u201d.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Mr. Stanberry said the Ministry fully supports eating the fish, and salutes the \u201cforesight and the vision and the corporate citizen spirit of the Scotiabank Group in lending a hand to the research being done by the UWI
