Dr. Molly Lutcavage and her large pelagic tagging program have been in the forefront of research programs devoted to scientific inquiry into the life cycle of Giant Bluefin Tuna. For almost twenty years she has devoted her time and effort to solving the riddles of their migration patterns, spawning areas and daily life activities.

Unfortunately, the funding by her usual sources has been reduced considerably, and it has become necessary for her and her many friends to raise the funds necessary to continue her work. It is imperative that Dr. Lutcavage’s work continue. Richard Burgess, of RockOn Products, suggested to me that we have a tournament in the hopes of revitalizing the declining interest in tuna fishing. I suggested combining the two issues.

To this end, The North Shore Community Tuna Association along with RockOn Products have proposed a "Tag-a-Tiny" Tuna Tournament. This would help raise funds for Dr. Lutcavage, and assist her in her current efforts in researching movements of the juvenile Bluefin Tuna now frequenting our coast.
