American Longline Association

The American Longline Association is an organization that represents fishermen and companies involved in longline fishing, a method where many baited hooks are set on a long line stretching miles in the ocean to catch species like tuna and swordfish. The association advocates for sustainable fishing practices, promotes responsible management of fish stocks, and works to ensure the industry’s interests are considered in regulations. It also provides education and support to its members, aiming to balance profitable fishing with marine conservation.
