Boat Builders for Billfish Coalition

The Boat Builders for Billfish Coalition is an industry-led alliance to generate support
for the IGFA Great Marlin Race (IGMR), the world’s most extensive billfish satellite tagging program.  

The IGFA established the Boat Builders for Billfish Coalition to create a secure future for billfish and the anglers that pursue them, through the IGMR. 

Manufacturers of sport fishing vessels and related accessories provide anglers around the world with the necessary tools to target the most iconic game fish in the ocean – billfish. Unfortunately, most billfish populations are poorly studied and in a depleted state. We must learn more about the migration patterns of these imperiled species and driving oceanographic conditions.
