Cape Cod Commercial Hook Fishermen's Association

About Us

Today, the quaintly named Cape Cod is better known for tourism than the fish that made this region famous. But now the resource, the traditions, and a way of life are disappearing forever. The habitat that fish need to survive is being destroyed at an alarming rate. In addition, fish species are managed individually, ignoring fishing's impact on entire ecosystems. And the expertise of fishermen, who hold decades worth of information, is often neglected.

The CCCHFA is working to address these problems by building sustainable fisheries for the future and representing the traditional communities that rely on this resource.
