As a result of human error, a few non-native lionfish slipped into Atlantic waters off the coast of Florida in the 1980&';s. In less than 40 years, the invasive lionfish has taken over from Boston to Barcelona to Brazil, completely wiping out coral reef systems and native fish populations. This premium, full-grain leather sandal incorporates a panel of INVERSA&';s Invasive(TM) Lionfish Leather, harvested by local fisherman to help protect their local fisheries. Each sandal in this collection contributes to saving 25,000 native fish species.
