Community Fishing Associations

Community Fishing Associations are organized groups of local fishers who collectively manage and share access to fishing resources within a specific area. They establish rules for sustainable fishing, share costs and efforts, and advocate for their members’ interests. This collaborative approach helps prevent overfishing, ensures fair access, and supports the long-term viability of fishing communities. By working together, members can better manage their environment, improve safety, and enhance their economic stability. Overall, these associations foster responsible stewardship of fisheries through cooperation and shared responsibility.
