Since 2007, Pacific Islands Fisheries Group (PIFG) has been building the foundation of Tag It as a volunteer-based tagging project, similar to the once-popular statewide Division of Aquatic Resources’ Ulua Tagging Project. The goal is to utilize one tag across a number of species, thereby eliminating confusion caused by multiple projects. The “one-stop tag shop” concept hopes to streamline requests for tags and tag kits, data collection and tag-recovery monitoring. The data will be used by scientists to improve understanding of these species in order to provide the best management options available.
