“IGFA is globally recognized for its efforts in marine conservation and education,” Joshua Grier, sustainability program manager at Yamaha U.S. Marine Business Unit, said in a statement. “By supporting these two initiatives, Yamaha Rightwaters demonstrates its dedication to marine research and the education of future anglers.”
Passports to Fishing provides “fishing clinics in a box,” equipping educators with the tools to teach the next generation of ethical and conservation-minded anglers. The Great Marlin Race is the world’s largest citizen-science billfish tagging program.
“Yamaha Rightwaters is an invaluable partner for IGFA’s conservation and youth education programs,” IGFA president Jason Schratwieser said in the statement.
