PROGRAMS AND SERVICES

Herring Campaign Along with our campaign partners, we are working to protect sea herring, river herring and all of the fish, fisheries and jobs that depend on them from damage caused by poorly managed industrial fishing.

Groundfish and Sectors The End Overfishing Campaign empowers local fishermen to help improve groundfish fisheries. Through our sector, local fishermen work collectively to harvest a combined quota of fish.

Other Species The scope of the Hook Association's policy program has expanded to include other state and federal fisheries, which include advocacy in the skate, monkfish, dogfish and scallop fisheries.

Nantucket Soundkeeper The Nantucket Soundkeeper program serves as the official steward of Nantucket Sound, as dedicated by the international Waterkeeper Alliance.

Pier Program Learn about fishing practices and hear stories from the sea at the Chatham Fish Pier or follow the Fisheries Trail for a look at Chatham's commercial fishing history.
