The Bonefish and Tarpon Research Conservation organization of the University of Miami Rosenstiel School of Marine and Atmospheric Science will be inserting tarpon satellite tags this season in Whitewater Bay, Everglades National Park. With the help of world recognized angler Stu Apte, and King Sailfish's Raymond Douglas, pop-up tags will be placed in a limited number of qualified tarpon in order to gain scientific knowledge regarding fishery dynamics, stock spatial distribution, spawning migrations and movements between fishing areas.
Pop-up Archival Transmitter (PAT) tags record information over a period of time and are then scheduled to pop-off, allowing researchers to recover the tag and record the data gathered. The resulting information can then be used by scientists and lawmakers to study and help protect this valuable marine resource.
The first tag was successfully inserted on March 13 by Mike Larkin and Raymond Douglas. The fish's size and geographical location was recorded prior to a successful release. For more information on how you can become involved, visit http://www.bonefishresearch.com/tarpon.htm
