Project Permit, a new joint venture between The Bonefish and Tarpon Trust and Costa Del Mar Sunglasses, has the goal of tagging 6,000 permit for scientific research. The stuff they have found out about bonefish and tarpon is phenomenal so I imagine this will bear the same fruit.
Go to the Project Permit website to apply for tags if you are so inclined.

Pete, thanks so much for giving this great program some recognition. We hope all the anglers out there will take a moment and request some tags for this season. Our goal is 6,000 tags out in the first year!
Thanks again for all of your support.
