Lionfish Mermaid

Lionfish, indigenous to the Pacific and Indian Oceans, is considered a highly invasive species in the waters of Dominica, prompting sea aficionados to join forces in a fight where a huge step forward was to allow hunting of the species. All to the delight not only of gourmets — it's a very flavoursome fish — but also of those looking for truly unique gifts that represent an important mission, too. Desiree Bell transforms fish fins into beautiful works of art, using jewellery to draw attention to the importance of balance in marine life.
