BTT’s 8th International Science Symposium was a poignant reminder of the relationships and shared passion for conservation that unite our community. Find photos from the weekend here!
#BTTSymposium 2025 featured insightful presentations and engaging discussions led by leading scientists, resource managers, industry leaders, policymakers, legendary anglers, and top fishing guides from Florida and around the globe. It was our honor to bring together conservation advocates for the world’s largest gathering of stakeholders working to advance the science and conservation of flats habitats and fisheries.
The triennial event was also a memorable celebration of our angling community! We inducted into the BTT Circle of Honor four remarkable individuals who have made outstanding contributions to conservation: Jeff Harkavy, Tim Borski, and Chris and Wendi Peterson. The special program emceed by Rob and Kaylee Fordyce also featured moving tributes to the late Flip Pallot by Rob Fordyce, Carl Allen of Walker’s Cay, and Flip’s daughter, Brooke.
This year’s Science Symposium theme focused on critical fishery issues from the perspective of landscape conservation. This holistic approach tackles water quality issues and habitat loss at the largest and most meaningful scales possible. Learn more here.
We are especially grateful to our generous event sponsors!
