Royal Bermuda Regiment Tackles Lionfish | Bermuda News

The Royal Bermuda Regiment is turning up the heat on invasive lionfish—with a dive-worthy tournament! For their 60th anniversary, coastguard divers competed in the 2026 Heatwave Lionfish Challenge, hauling in 12 fish (a major win after last year’s zero catch). These voracious invaders threaten Bermuda’s marine ecosystem, but thanks to dedicated teams like Sergeant Nathan Frick’s—who’s been tackling them since 2008—native species are showing resilience. Fitness and diving skills are key, and all $40 entry fees fund conservation. Prizes will be awarded Sunday at Warwick Camp—where defense meets deep-sea action.
