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 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.
