Tarpon Catch and Release Mortality Study
Review and Discussion Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission Division of Marine Fisheries Management December 2004


Introduction:

The Commission initiated a catch-and-release mortality study of tarpon in Boca Grande Pass in 2002.

The issue has been contentious throughout the time frame of the study, and in February 2004 the Commission initiated rulemaking primarily to address user conflicts between the two groups of anglers. Additional rules were considered at the April 2004 meeting.
