Fishermen understand that their communities and businesses rely on a healthy marine ecosystem and abundant fish populations. The Fishermen's Alliance works with fishermen to improve regulations, while providing flexibility for small fishing businesses to thrive.
Local fishermen, concerned with the threat to small-boat communities, worked with the Fishermen's Alliance to build the Cape Cod Fisheries Trust. The Trust keeps fishing permits here on Cape Cod and provides affordable opportunities for the fleet.
The Fishermen's Alliance has several ongoing programs that run seasonally and throughout the year. Whether educational or adventurous - you're guaranteed to learn something and have fun doing so!
Working with our local fleet, we conduct research to inform our policy work and guide decision-making at all levels of the organization. Our ongoing research programs are collaborative in nature as we work with partner organizations on many of our projects.
