Bonefish and Tarpon Trust is pleased to announce YETI Coolers as its newest Corporate Sponsor. YETI Coolers will support Bonefish & Tarpon Trust for the remainder of 2015 and 2016 as a Gold Partner and title sponsor of BTT’s Bonefish and Tarpon Genetics Program.
YETI Coolers was founded by sportsmen who used their experience in the field to create a product that exudes simplicity, durability, and quality. Constructed with the same materials used to make whitewater kayaks, the coolers are rotational-molded and have a dramatic durability advantage. YETI coolers keep ice longer, with over twice the insulation compared to most ordinary coolers.
David Bullock, CFO of YETI, “YETI Coolers is excited to partner with Bonefish and Tarpon Trust on their continued efforts to conserve and protect flats habitat and fish species. In addition to the genetics program, BTT is on the leading edge of these types of initiatives and it is with great pleasure that we are able to support them and ensure these fisheries and habitats are protected for future generations of anglers.”
“We’re thrilled that a vibrant and growing company like YETI Coolers recognizes the value of BTT’s work and has such a strong desire to partner, contribute, and help us make a difference,” said BTT Director of Operations, Dr. Aaron Adams. “Collaborations like these give the flats fishery a brighter future.”
The goal of BTT’s Bonefish and Tarpon Genetics Program is to analyse the population structure of bonefish and tarpon in Florida and throughout the Caribbean to determine the extent that bonefish and tarpon populations in these different locations are related. Genetic samples are easily collected by anglers and guides – a single scale from a tarpon and a single fin clip from a bonefish provide all the information necessary.
