Sure - we tag sharks....
I tag sharks as part of the NMFS ~ National Marine Fisheries Service.
They provide the tags and the index cards that you need to fill out when you tag a fish.
All the information WE provide is used for studying the migratory habits of these magnificant machines!
The send every "tagger" a bulletin each year with tons of statitics ~ how far sharks have travelled between captures ~ the time at liberty between captures ~ etc.
They do a wonderful job with the research ~ and as if that isn't enough ~ they send embroidered NMFS SHARK hats if you return a tag or if your fish's tag gets returned by another fisherman!
