Belize Tarpon Tagging Expedition

No comments yet

The Belize Tarpon Tagging Expedition. Year 4 of a multi-year partnership between tarpon anglers and the scientists of the University of Miami, Rosenstiel School of Marine and Atmospheric Science. There are 3 parts to the expedition, world class tarpon fishing, advancing science and learning. The scientific goal is to place very sophisticated satellite tags on large adult tarpon that migrate through Belize waters each summer. Doing this should put us one step closer to learning how to ensure the success of the tarpon we hope to see in Belize for years to come.
We have the science, now we need more anglers.
This expedition will be led by Adam Marton and famed tarpon angler (and the man who wrote the book on tarpon fishing with a fly rod), Andy Mill. Andy’s son Nicky Mill will also be joining us and together we intend to lead this small group of passionate tarpon anglers on an experience of a lifetime.

The GFF money box

… I have a small favor to ask.

Long story short

Support the Global FlyFisher through several different channels, including PayPal.

Long story longer

The Global FlyFisher has been online since the mid-90's and has been free to access for everybody since day one – and will stay free for as long as I run it.
But that doesn't mean that it's free to run.
It costs money to drive a large site like this.
See more details about what you can do to help in this blog post.

The Global FlyFisher was updated to a new publishing system early March 2025, and there may still be a few glitches while the last bits get fixed. If you meet anything that doesn't work, please let me know.
