The Presidential Challenge Charitable Foundation, Inc. proudly supports the Adopt-A-Billfish Satellite Tagging Program
The Adopt-A-Billfish Satellite Tagging Program has produced cutting edge scientific data on the habits of sailfish and marlin. This program relies on private funding to support the trips necessary to tag fish. Information gained from this program will lead the way to effective billfish management in the future.
2009 promises to be a very exciting year for the Presidential Challenge Conservation Series. Billfishing off the coast of Central America is better than ever. Sailfish areabundant and the marlin bite is red hot. We are proud to announce that the official Time Keeper for the 2009 PCCA Series is REACTOR WATCHES. Reactor timepieces will be used to score and will be awarded as prizes to the winning teams. Photos courtesy William Boyce
