We would like to thank Star Rods, Costa Del Mar, AFTCO, and the Guy Harvey Foundation for providing strong incentives for fishermen to tag and release small, healthy dolphinfish for the Dolphinfish Research Program (DRP) in 2024.  These premier fishing tackle companies and sponsors of the DRP have shown their commitment to the conservation of this important fishery by donating top-quality equipment and art for incentive awards to encourage fishermen to assist the DRP.  This year, we are distributing $5,590 worth of gear and art to 66 captains and their crews who collectively tagged and released 1,325 dolphin and reported 33 recoveries in 2024!  When the value of our year-end awards is combined with additional tagging and recapture awards distributed in 2022, our program, through the support of our sponsors, distributed $7,000 worth of fishing gear and products to fishermen around the world as well as cash awards to international recapture reporters!  Below is a a complete list of all 2024 award winners.  Congratulations to our award winners!
