The Coastal Conservation Association, Shimano and the Harte Research Institute For Gulf of Mexico Studies have partnered with the ReleaSense Initiative to provide a platform for anglers, industry, and resource managers to share information regarding the best catch and release practices for many prized species. ReleaSense will provide an expanding series of catch and release instructional videos, as well as interviews with leaders in the recreational fishing industry, fisheries managers, and expert anglers from across North America. Increasing awareness of this information will improve survival rates of released fish ensuring healthy and sustainable populations of harvestable fish for the future.

The Harte Research Institute (HRI) has spent the last two decades working to ensure an ecologically and economically sustainable Gulf of Mexico.
