Research at the South Skyway Pier

Anglers – We want to hear from you!

Have you recently gone fishing at the South Sunshine Skyway Fishing Pier? If so, tell us about your trip!

We are collecting crowdsourced data on pelican observations at the pier, as well as feedback from anglers regarding proposed actions that could be taken to reduce pelican entanglements in fishing lines. We hope this information will help find a way to reduce pelican entanglements while maximizing fishing opportunities for anglers in Tampa Bay.
