management criteria by regional fishery 

management councils, states, and 

NMFS. The tag report cards are 

necessary to provide tags to the 

volunteer angler, record when and 

where the fish was tagged, the species, 

its estimated length and weight, tag 

number, and information on the tagger 

for follow-ups if the tagged fish is 

recovered. Failure to obtain these data 

would make management decisions very 

difficult and would be contrary to the 

NMFS Marine Recreational Fishing 

policy objectives. Anglers are made 

aware of the tagging program through 

several forms of media: newspaper and 

magazine articles, through both The 

Billfish Foundation and the Southeast 

Fisheries Science Center websites, peer 

review papers, and by word of mouth. 

II. Method of Collection 

Information is submitted by mail, and 

occasionally, international anglers scan 

the report cards and submit them via 

email to tagging@noaa.gov.
