About Us

Our Team

The Gulf Reef Fish Shareholders' Alliance (Shareholders' Alliance) is a fishermen's organization run by fishermen for fishermen. Everything we do is founded in our belief that conservation and stewardship protect fishermen's businesses and fish populations. We do this from the ground up as commercial fishermen creating positive change. 

More About Our Team

Our Vision

The Shareholders’ Alliance is a proactive, resilient, and effective organization of commercial fishermen in the Gulf of America that advocates for accountable and sustainable fisheries, public access to American seafood, profitable fishing businesses, and a durable IFQ system.

More About Our Work

Our Work

Reef Fish Quota Bank

 The Gulf Reef Fish Shareholders’ Alliance launched the first Quota Bank in the Gulf of America in 2015 to reduce red snapper discards in the eastern Gulf and to support the next generation of commercial red snapper fishermen.

About the Quota Bank

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.

Our Policy Priorities

Young Fishermen

We are working to support the next generation of commercial fishermen that are stepping up to carry on a tradition that has existed for hundreds of years in the Gulf of America.

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.
