Interested in Learning MOre?

TBF travels to dozens of sportfishing tournaments each year to support partners, fundraise on behalf of TBF, and educate anglers on the benefits of billfish tag and release.
TBF’s Annual Tag and Release Award Ceremony is held annually in February to celebrate and recognize the captains, anglers, and mates who led the way in billfish conservation that year.
At TBF, we pride ourselves in aligning with other organizations and partners who share the same values as we do. If you are interested in joining our community of sponsors, we have many levels of involvement.
