Madatet Fishing Supports Mahi-Mahi Research
Since 2017, I have been taking part in the American Dolphinfish Research Program during my guided trips. The programme studies mahi-mahi growth and migration routes.
My contribution is to tag and release as many mahi-mahi as possible in good condition, and report information about each fish, including its length, sex and GPS position.
The aim is to increase the chance that a fish will be recaptured later in its migration, providing valuable information about the species. At the time of writing, one fish tagged aboard my boat has been recaptured in the Dominican Republic. I hope more will follow!
For more information, photos and videos showing our release procedures, take a look at my Facebook page.

Preserving fish stocks and encouraging more people to support this approach matter to me, so our children can still go fishing beyond video games!
I am also proud that Team Madatet Fishing took first place in my category for mahi-mahi tag and release in 2018, with 235 fish tagged.
