Where you fish, BTT is at work. A great example comes from Mexico, where we are working with BTT members Nassim Joaquin and Rafael Chacon (also a biologist) on a tagging program in the Yucatan Peninsula. Nassim and Rafael have been traveling the region to work with fishing guides an anglers to tag bonefish, permit, and tarpon in an effort to understand the movement patterns and habitat use of these fish.
Fish are being tagged from Ascension Bay to Cancun, Cozumel to Campeche, and are providing data that will help the long term conservation of these important fish. Most recently, Nassim and Rafael were invited to give a presentation at the Cancun Boat Show. Their presentation resulted in a new group of guides for tagging in the Cancun-Isla Blanca area, and good conversations with many at the show.
