Fishtagger is a Chesapeake Bay citizen science project developed for MSSA (Maryland Saltwater Sportfishing Asociation) to capture angler catch and release, fish health, illegal fish gear and marine debirs in the greater Chesapeake Bay. Anglers download and run the Fishtagger app on their smart phone and use it to document the state of the Bay. The data collected is used by MSSA in its mission to provide a unified voice to preserve and protect the fisheries resources, the rights of recreational fishermen, and the opportunity to support activities that enhance the marine environment. This app and website empower each angler to protect and preserve what they hold dear about the Bay.
Global in scope but locally powered, FishTagger is a project of Marine Ventures Foundation.
