Overview

Who

The Billfish Foundation (TBF) is a 501(c)(3) charitable
organization under the tax code of the United States
and headquartered in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. The
organization’s mission is to advance responsible
management and conservation of billfish and associated
highly migratory fish species in oceans around the world.

What

TBF recognizes the anglers, captains, mates, and youth
anglers who tag and release the most billfish in each
of the world’s oceans annually at our Tag & Release
Ceremony event. TBF’s Tag & Release Competition is
categorized by billfish species, ocean, and whether the
fish were tagged or released untagged.

When

This event is held concurrently during the West Palm
Beach Boat Show and highlights our cornerstone
program. Those recognized not only exhibit great
skill in catching numbers of fish, but also embody
the conservation ethic so important to the oceans’
future.

Why

The Billfish Foundation offers many different ways
for your business to maximize its exposure and be
associated as a company who believes that conservation
pays. Sponsorship represents an ideal opportunity
to boost your company’s profile among an influential
crowd in the recreational sportfishing community.

A History of Action, A Tradition of Success.
