Good Afternoon Commanders,
Please see the attached message from the Yonkers Boat and Canoe Club. They are looking for a satellite tag from a sturgeon fish in our area. They believe it fell off near Dobbs Ferry. Please read and get out to the deck plate so if anyone comes across it on patrol they can alert the proper authorities.
Thank You,
Kevin

Original Notice (Hudson River Almanac, 24 June, follows):
6/24 - Dobbs Ferry, HRM 23: In order to learn of their movements within the
Hudson River estuary and along the Atlantic coast, the NYSDEC Hudson River
Fisheries Unit applies satellite tags to some of the Atlantic sturgeon we
capture and release. Recently, one of our satellite tags popped off an adult
Atlantic sturgeon near Dobbs Ferry in the Tappan Zee. We do not have an
exact location - it could be on either side of the river - but we are
thinking more likely on the Dobbs Ferry side. If anyone is out canoeing,
kayaking, or boating in the area, please keep an eye out for it. It would be
very much appreciated. The tag floats, is cylindrical, black, and 6.5 inches
long, not counting the antenna.
