The Billfish Foundation (TBF) has announced the 2024 launch of its latest conservation initiative, The Skillie Project. A new project with the goal of better understanding and advancing the conservation of the understudied Northeastern Atlantic White Marlin (Tetrapturus albidus) population. Named for the local name of the billfish “Skillies”, this project is partnered up with the University of Maine, local captains, fishery pioneers, and the greater fishing community of southeastern New England. Additionally, cutting-edge satellite tagging tech is being used as well to better understand the migratory patterns of the White Marlin.
