Defend Fishing Families!
Commercial fishermen are facing a huge threat to their livelihoods due to a reallocation of red grouper quota to the recreational sector (a total loss of OVER ONE MILLION POUNDS). We need your help to defend fishing families' and small American businesses. We need to stop this fish grab from harming the hard working women and men who depend on it.
Our Work
Reef Fish Quota Bank
The Gulf of Mexico Reef Fish Shareholders’ Alliance launched the first Quota Bank in the Gulf of Mexico in 2015 to reduce red snapper discards in the eastern Gulf and to support the next generation of commercial red snapper fishermen.
Policy Work
We believe that it is our responsibility to support good science and data, to educate regional and federal regulators, and to play an active role in shaping our commercial fishing regulations.
Young Fishermen
We are working to support the next generation of conservation-minded commercial fishermen that are stepping up to carry on a tradition that has existed for hundreds of years in the Gulf of Mexico.
Outreach and Media
We help tell your story to the world – a story of hard-working men and women who believe in a future where policies are based on sound science, where fishermen collaborate with regulators, and where wild, sustainably-harvested seafood continues to feed the American public.
Gulf Wild™
When you see a Gulf Wild™ tag or notice the Gulf Wild™ brand in your local restaurant or fish market, you know that you are supporting the only seafood traceability program in the nation that was built by fishermen for fishermen.
