Keyed on Tarpon Conservation---------------------------- Hooked on The Fly’s Stewardship: Our mission for each film includes making the beautiful wild habitat and fish the stars of our show. Most fly fishers think primarily of these concerns when they go fly-fishing. As people who love the earth and its creatures, we believe we now must all be more actively engaged in protecting what we cherish. How will we do this? On this page we will link visitors to relevant conservation groups. We will also address larger environmental issues that all fly fishers will want to collaborate on in order to speak with one mighty voice so various state and federal agencies here us clearly. Currently, many fly-fishing conservation groups are a patchwork of relatively small groups fighting for particular issues of concern to them. Our goal at Hooked on the Fly is to help become a nexus linking fly fishers from all over the world to speak with one voice to help protect wild habitats and our finny friends. As we like to say, “See it. Feel it. Pass it on.” Key West National Wildlife Refuge Tarpon DNA Sampling Kit There are three Refuges in the Lower Florida Keys, all part of the Florida Keys National Wildlife Refuge. Two are in Key West, the Great White Heron Wildlife Refuge established in 1938, and the Key West National Wildlife Refuge established by President Teddy Roosevelt in 1908 to protect wildlife and their habitat.

Florida Fish and Wildlife Research Institute Established in 2004, the Institute assesses and restores ecosystems of freshwater and marine fisheries. It develops the science required to analyze and disseminate research products(i.e. DNA sampling kit) and engages in outreach activities to help compliment all related fisheries programs.
