The number of billfish in Costa Rica and surrounding Central American countries seem to be booming when looking at the catch stats from recent tournaments like the 2015 OWC. But with commercial longliners permanently keeping over 100 million hooks in the eastern Pacific waters there is a huge threat to billfish populace. To help conserve these amazing fish The Central American Billfish Association put together this infographic to help bring awareness to the everyday fishermen and the occasional tourist fishing types on ways they can help conserve the billfish populations in Costa Rica and Central America. Please remember and apply these next time you are on the waters of Costa Rica, Guatemala, Panama, etc. and help the billfish that we enjoy catching so much survive for our future generations to enjoy too.
