About Bonefish & Tarpon Trust

For more than 25 years, Bonefish & Tarpon Trust has brought science to the fight for clean water and healthy habitats in South Florida! Our mission is to conserve and protect bonefish, tarpon, and permit and the fisheries they comprise. From our headquarters in Miami, BTT science drives results that anglers, boaters, beach-goers, and all Floridians can enjoy today and tomorrow. 

We work throughout the Southeastern US, Gulf of Mexico, and Caribbean Sea to ensure the health and sustainability of the flats fishery. 

In South Florida, BTT works to…

• Improve water quality and protect nursery habitat to ensure healthy populations of sportfish.
• Restore mangrove forests and marshland for juvenile tarpon and snook.
• Secure federal and state funding to Save the Everglades.
• Address emerging contaminants and threats in Florida waters, including pharmaceuticals and the “spinning fish” phenomenon.
• Advocate for wastewater and stormwater infrastructure improvements statewide.
