So what happened to the Tarpon Tomorrow Texas Tournament Series?
For years, Tarpon Tomorrow, Inc. has worked closely with Bonefish & Tarpon Trust (“BTT”) to further tarpon research in Texas. In an effort to consolidate efforts and better promote tarpon research, Tarpon Tomorrow’s active officers and directors have joined the board of BTT. Consequently, the continuation of Tarpon Tomorrow as an ongoing enterprise is no longer necessary.
BTT has never been nor is it interested in being in the business of running fishing tournaments. Consequently, the Tarpon Tomorrow Texas Tournament Series banner must be passed to another entity so that it may continue the furtherance of tarpon research in Texas. In an agreement reached with Tarpon Tomorrow, Project Tarpon, LLC (“Project Tarpon”) will assume the duties of organizing and conducting the Tarpon Tomorrow Texas Tournament Series. The same individuals will be involved in organizing the tournament and participants will see no substantive changes, other than a change in the name of the tournament. Pursuant to Project Tarpon’s agreement with Tarpon Tomorrow, the proceeds, if any, from the tournament will still be used to further tarpon research in Texas and research, education and awareness will remain the tournaments primary objectives.
Tarpon Tomorrow Flags Still Available
Tarpon Tomorrow Release Flags and all rights to the Flag Logo are also being transfered to Project Tarpon.com to use the proceeds for tarpon research. Getting your flag, still shows your support for tarpon research and education.
