expansion, and we need your support to continue. This past year, we distributed a record number of kits (500) and tags (6,753). In addition, we had among the highest amount of vessel participation (147) in our 21-year history. We also deployed 16 satellite tags, 12 acoustic tags, collected 350+ catch per unit effort trips, and 75 seafood reports. Our work is consistently published in scientific manuscripts and referenced in domestic and international fishery management fora, and we need your support to continue. We also need support to meet the rising cost of operations including postage, basic tagging kit supplies and equipment, and staff support to help manage our growing international tagging program. Help us continue and expand in 2023. The ways to financially support our work are provided in this newsletter. All donations to the Beyond Our Shores Foundation are tax-deductible.
