RIP Jeff Dement

[Billfish715]

I just learned of the passing of Jeff Dement, the director of the fish tagging program at the American Littoral Society based out of Sandy Hook. Those of us who are fish taggers have lost a real friend. He was always supportive and informative to us all. His efforts to document the tagging operations up and down the Atlantic seaboard were Herculean. His latest summary of last year’s tag returns is posted in the Underwater Naturalist. There, you can see just some of Jeff’s work.

RIP, Jeff. Your work will continue even in your absence.
