Yamaha Rightwaters announced the renewal of its partnership with Bonefish & Tarpon Trust through a three-year agreement focused on protecting and restoring critical fisheries and habitats. The programs being supported by the agreement include mapping juvenile tarpon habitats, designing nursery habitats and restoring declining ecosystems seen as critical to fisheries.
“Partnering with Bonefish & Tarpon Trust allows us to take direct action to protect marine ecosystems and support the future of recreational fishing,” Joshua Grier, sustainability program manager, Yamaha U.S. Marine Business Unit, said in a statement. “By investing in scientific research and habitat restoration, we help ensure healthy marine environments, and our industry can thrive together.”
Yamaha will provide outboards for the three boats featured in BTT’s 2025 Florida Boat Sweepstakes, which supports the trust’s work to improve water quality in the Sunshine State and ensure healthy habitats.
“Yamaha Rightwaters is a leader in the restoration and stewardship of our marine environment,” BTT president and CEO Jim McDuffie said in the statement. “We value Yamaha’s partnership and appreciate their generous support, which powers our science-based mission to restore critical habitats and engage communities in protecting flats fisheries essential to coastal economies and ecosystems.”
