On Thursday, Jan. 28, 2021, we received very sad news: Jeff Dement, long-time Fish Tagging Program Director for the Littoral Society, had passed away.
Jeff loved the Society, fish, trees, and science. The tagging program and its taggers were at the center of his professional life. He loved the science and the tales taggers tell.
He was a gifted educator and taught untold numbers of young people to fish – many of whom would never have had the opportunity but for Jeff and the Society’s programs that he helped create.
Jeff's passing was a huge loss for his family and friends, but also for the Littoral Society. The fish tagging program goes back to the beginnings of the Society and has more than 400 active taggers. Jeff was director of the program since 2008.

To memorialize Jeff and his contributions, one of his former interns (Sam Glover) created a sticker that can be purchased online. $2 from each sale will be donated to the Society in support of the Fish Tagging Program.
