The goal of The Skillie Project is to gain a better understanding of the White Marlin (“Skillie”) population off the coast of New England, focusing on their migratory patterns, habitat use, and population dynamics. By leveraging satellite tag data and scientific research, in partnership with The University of Maine, The Skillie Project aims to inform and drive effective conservation strategies, support sustainable fisheries management, and foster greater public awareness of the importance of protecting one of Nantucket’s most prized game fish.
