Release your fish - make a positive impact in the conservation of our natural resources. The South Carolina Department of Natural Resources seeks the assistance of saltwater anglers concerned about our game fish stocks. Anglers are urged to release their fish to help ensure future fishing opportunities.
Anglers intent on releasing fish should minimize handling and carefully remove the hook or cut the line close to the hook. Grasping the hook with pliers or a similar tool is usually quicker and less damaging to the fish. An exhausted fish should be revived by moving it both forward and backwards through the water until it is able to swim off.

Anglers wishing to tag and release fish should contact the Marine Game Fish Tagging Program. Tagging kits are free, and include tags, tag applicator and a brochure describing the program guidelines, instructions on handling, tagging, and releasing fish. A list of priority species for tagging is also included. After a tagged fish is recaptured, both the angler making the recapture and the angler who initially tagged the fish, will be provided a catch history of that fish. Anglers who report a tag recapture receive a reward. Please re-release fish when possible and report the tag number, size of the fish, capture date, location, and angler address. Invest in the future of your sport, practice catch and release.
