Dr. Aaron Adams is both a fisheries scientist and an avid angler.
A study conducted by the Bonefish & Tarpon Trust and Florida International University showed that bonefish were testing positive for a wide range of pharmaceuticals. The research helped push the need for better waste-water management, just one of many issues facing bonefish, tarpon, snook and other species of gamefish in Florida. Dr. Aaron Adams is a longtime angler and outdoorsman who has made it his life’s work to improve coastal fisheries by conducting scientific research, applying those findings to conservation activities, and communicating the data to those who are using and benefiting from the resource.
In this episode of the Anglers Journal Podcast, we dive into a range of issues BTT is tackling to help future populations of bonefish, tarpon and other coastal fishes.
