Reward offered for lost shark tag

A reward is being offered to whoever finds a lost basking shark tag which is likely to wash up in the Neist Point area of Glendale, on the Isle of Skye.

The tag is the shape of a small fizzy drinks bottle and made of rubber. It is black in colour and 15cm long. It may have an antennae attached midway. The tag is likely to be washed up on the shore close to Neist Point. The tag is part of a basking shark tracking project being co-ordinated by Scottish Natural Heritage and it contains valuable data. There is a £100 reward for its safe return. Any person finding the tag should contact Portree Police Station on 01478 61288 or the Force Operations Centre on 01463 715555.
