Sharkatag 2009 has finished – the event ran from the 12th to the 14th of June – its main aims were to tag as many fish as possible from the shore and boat; to highlight the urgent need for shark, ray and skate conservation in Scottish waters, and to raise the public awareness of sea angling.

This set of pages have been left on the site to provide any potential visitors to the Solway area with some information regarding accommodation and launch sites.

Please download a copy of our poster from here to pass on to your friends, club, local tackle shop or anyone else who may be interested.

A shark ID card may be downloaded  from here, as well as codes of best practice for handling tope and the smaller sharks.
