The Jamaican Government and many other organizations such as NEPA, UWI have started programs to promote the catching/eating of Lionfish as part of an effort to help control the spread of lionfish. Below is link to a JA Dept of Fisheries article regarding lionfish.

When I was in JA last winter, you could buy freshly caught/cleaned llionfish down at the fisherman's beach (beside the River near the bridge). THE LIONFISH TASTES DELICIOUS!! Several restaurants on the island now serve lionfish to their customers - so be sure to ask your favourite restaurant to cook you some! If the restaurants get asked for it, they will put in on the menu .... which means more money for the fisherman & fishvendors which in turn leads to more lionfish being caught and the dominio effect will continue down the supply line.

If you google "lionfish in Jamaca" articles from varous hotels in JA that have sponsored events to promote the catching/eating of Lionfish. It would be great if something could be held in Negril that would benefit the area financially and promote eating lionfish.
