Causeway Coast boat charter service offers reward for lost fish satellite tag

Causeway Boats is offering a reward of £100 to the eagle-eyed person who spots the satellite tag on any of the north coast’s beaches.

In a post on social media on May 4, Causeway Boats said: “ A satellite tag off a fish has released itself on the North Coast.

"If anyone finds it, contact either the number on the tag or contact us.

"There is a years worth of critical data inside it plus a finders fee of 100 quid, so be eagle eyed when you're out on the North Coast beaches.”

A fish satellite tag is an electronic device to track their movements, behavior, and environment in real time or over time, transmitting data to satellites when the fish surfaces.

These tags record location, depth, water temperature, and migration routes, helping researchers understand habitat usage, survival rates, and behaviours without needing to recapture the animal.
