Emerald Coast Open

2019 Standings

This year was the most successful lionfish tournament in history! The efforts of the men and women that make up the teams below were nothing short of heroic. The Ocean and King Trident himself, along with the officials of the Emerald Coast Open, celebrate the work to rid our waters of the invasive lionfish.  Our native fish are safer, and will have a chance to survive, and our reefs are healthier.  Great Job! We are already planning the 2020 tournament, and hope to make it bigger and better.  See you next year!
