The future of our flats fishery depends on the conservation actions we take today! Be informed and be engaged by attending the world’s largest gathering of flats fishery stakeholders.
Bonefish & Tarpon Trust’s 8th International Science Symposium will focus this year on critical fishery issues from the perspective of landscape conservation—an approach that tackles water quality issues and habitat loss at the largest and most meaningful scales possible, connecting lands and waters across county, state, and even national divides. Such a holistic approach is necessary to ensure the effective conservation of habitats that sustain healthy bonefish, tarpon, and permit populations.
To learn more, please make plans to join us for insightful presentations and engaging discussions led by leading scientists, resource managers, industry leaders, state and federal policymakers, conservation advocates, legendary anglers, and top fishing guides from Florida and around the world.
As in the past, this triennial event will also be a celebration of our angling community. The 2025 edition will feature special receptions and events, including the Circle of Honor inductions of four honorees, soon to be announced, who have made outstanding contributions to conservation.
