tags), plastic headed dart tags, umbrella dart tags, Passive Integrated Transponder (PIT) tags, acoustic tags (transmitters), Pop-Up Archival transmitting (PAT) tags, and Smart Position Only Transmitting (SPOT) tags. Sampling also includes a small genetic tissue fin clip and blood sample. Finally, dead sawfish acquired through strandings or from law enforcement confiscations are also measured and sampled for scientific purposes.

To increase tag retention and provide less invasive tagging techniques, the applicant is now requesting to replace plastic rototags, used to secure VEMCO acoustic transmitters, with neoprene clasp tags; and nylon umbrella darts, used to secure PAT tags, with dorsal fin harnesses. SPOT tags would also be excluded as a tagging method. Better data collection could provide increased insight into habitat usage pattern and accomplish actions items identified in the recovery plan for the species.
