Our adventure to Banco Léon


To spread awareness about our cause, last Friday two of our Sea Savers, María Jose Fernandez and María Laura Leon, stole fifteen minutes from the monthly Executive Staff meeting at Banco León. They were gratefully asked to put forward a presentation at their lunch meeting, which served our infamous lionfish, in order to inform the busy execs about the exotic predatory species. In their presentation, besides updating the group about the origin of the fish and the uprising market being created for them in the Dominican Republic, the girls enlightened them as to where they could purchase or consume the fish.
The places where lionfish are currently being sold and consumed in Santo Domingo include:
Super Mercado Nacional
El Barrio Chino
Restaurante El Vesuvio
Parque Nacional Aquatico La Caleta  
COPRESCA y Centro Aquatico El Carey   (829) 278-4874
