#Bermuda, January 17, 2018 – A lecture to better understand the life cycle and value of the black grouper to the Bermudian marine landscape will be held this month and is hosted by the Bermuda Zoological society.   The black grouper or what some call the rockfish are a rarity in the waters surrounding the island these days.

They are hard to catch yet over 1 million pounds of the fish have been pulled from the waters in the last 40 years.  Most believe this estimate is conservative because it is based upon the honesty of fishermen.  Overfishing of the black grouper and infrastructural development have worked in tandem to greatly diminish stocks; the lecture by Dr. Tammy Warren, Sr Marine Resources Officer will  hopefully open eyes and save Black grouper lives.
