CONSERVE
OUR GENTLE GIANTS

I love fishing, and I love Alligator Gar. But over the past 50 years, the Alligator Gar has been hunted for food and for sport, their population decreasing. However, due to recent efforts, their population has started to rebound. I want to observe their activity and record their behavior to do my part in recovering these dinosaurs' population.

Why Gar?

Alligator Gar have been around since the time of the dinosaurs. But, for the longest time, they have been hunted and killed. Their population, eradicated. I believe that the Gar population can rebound.
