The ORI Cooperative Fish Tagging Project

The Oceanographic Research Institute’s Cooperative Fish Tagging Project (ORI-CFTP) is one of the longest running citizen science projects in Africa. It was initiated in 1984 by Rudy van der Elst, then director of ORI, with the vision of enlisting conservation conscious anglers to voluntarily tag and release the fish that they catch to assist research. Since then, the ORI-CFTP has grown substantially, and is now sitting at over 7 100 tagging members, with more than 374 000 tag releases and over 23 600 tag recaptures. Bruce Mann (Project Leader) and Gareth Jordaan (Tagging Officer) present an overview of the history of the ORI-CFTP, why and how we tag fish and how the project has grown and improved over the years.
