Sharkathon

Sharkathon is focused on catch and release shark fishing on Padre Island National Seashore. We are now in our fifth year of operation, having completed our fourth tournament in September 2007. We had 370 participants last year, and we are looking forward to a similar turnout in 2008. We have decided to cap the number of participants in this year's event, and we will not exceed 400 participants. This will limit the impact of the event on the environment.

We donated $1500.00 from the proceeds of our raffle sales to the Padre Island National Seashore and we are looking forward to a year of continued support from the Park. We have requested a special use permit and will be applying for this year's permit in the coming days.

Last year, we donated $1000.00 to the park to fund a park watch program. Please take a look at last year's letter from the Park on the Sharkathon website.

Please support catch and release shark fishing and come fish Sharkathon!

Thank you all!
