Sharkatag 2009
Sharkatag2009 is a shark tagging event following on from the successful spurdog ‘tagathon’ SSACN held around Loch Sunart in Autumn 2008; however, for Sharkatag2009 the main target will be tope and the location around the Mull of Galloway.
The event runs from the 12th to the 14th of June – it is not a competition – its main aims are to tag as many fish as possible from the shore and boat; to highlight the urgent need for shark, ray and skate conservation in Scottish waters, and to raise the public awareness of sea angling.
Joining in is easy, a simple form to fill in and only £10 per person to pay to help cover the costs of tags, tagging kits and suchlike – without either your registration will not be valid – More details and Registration here.
