Tindale Marine Research Charitable Trust

To support and undertake marine research for the better understanding of our marine environment.

Nationwide

Tindale Marine Research Charitable Trust has undertaken the task of running a New Zealand wide, inshore fish species tag and release programme and we are seeking contributions to help fund research tags and tagging equipment.

Early in 2018 we undertook a pilot study capturing and releasing many of our popular marine species. Each fish was accurately measured, fitted with a serial numbered ID tag, photographed and released so it could be identified on recapture at a later date. Tagging has long been a simple tool to track seasonal movements, preferred habitat and growth of marine species and it is an important tool for fisheries management, and most importantly it promotes sustainable fishing practices. This tagging program is open to all New Zealanders and the information gathered is used to help everyone including post graduate students, marine scientists and research institutions gain a better understanding of our marine environment.

With the help of donations, we will be able to expand this ongoing project New Zealand wide and be able to make tagging kits available to volunteers, recreational anglers and citizen scientists.

Donations go to the purchase of serial numbered fish ID tags; a $2 donation can give a fish a second chance at life. The Trust has also donated over 20,000 fish ID posters to members of the public, schools, and universities etc over the last 6 years and hopes to be able to continue doing this.

Projects like this would not be possible without funding and the support of a wide range of organisations, sponsors and volunteers.
