Sharkatag 2009 is set to attract around 200 volunteer sea anglers fishing from the shore, kayaks and boats in an attempt to tag as many inshore sharks as possible over a three-day period this June.
And OnlineFishing.tv, the TV channel just for anglers, will be there to cover it for its ‘Sea Watch UK’ series.
It’s part of the Scottish Sea Angling Conservation Network’s campaign to highlight the urgent need for shark, ray and skate conservation in Scottish waters, as well as raising the public awareness of sea angling and its contribution to the economies of many coastal communities.
The Scottish Fisheries Minister recently commented “Our scientists tell us that some shark populations are critically endangered, and we need to respond to that advice.â€
