Cod Tagging Cash Lottery  

For the first two years of the Program, GMRI held a total of 24 monthly cash lotteries. The lottery phase of the Program is now complete and the lottery funds have been exhausted. Please do not let this disuade you from returning tagged cod - you are still eligable for our standard rewards and your data is valuable to us!

Thank you for your continued support!
