Have you seen a
sturgeon?

If you catch a sturgeon or find one dead, call the Southeast U.S. Sturgeon Hotline:

(844) STURG 911

Or email: NOAA.Sturg911@noaa.gov
Help Scientific Research:
• Location of sighting (Waterbody and GPS coordinates if possible)
• Condition of animal (Alive or dead? Signs of trauma or injury?)
• Estimated length (From nose to end of tail)
• Photo of entire fish, if possible

Keep Them Swimming
• Do not remove live sturgeon from the water.
• If hooked, cut the line as close to the hook as
possible prior to release.

Sturgeon in the Southeastern United States
are federally protected. It is illegal to harm
or keep them, even if dead.
