Tag & Release Programme

Through its Tag and Release Program, The Pemba Channel Fishing Club promotes tag and release of all sharks and billfish.

It is interesting to note the recapture of a Kenyan tagged Striped Marlin approximately 600 miles off Perth, Western Australia.

The Stripped Marlin traveled this distance in 200 days and confirms that these fish are annual global travellers.

A Broadbill also tagged from this coast was recovered off-west Madagascar.
