Conserving and Revitalizing Wild Ocean Fisheries
For the past three decades, the Marine Fish Conservation Network has united fishermen, seafood purveyors, conservationists, scientists and citizens around a shared mission: conserving and revitalizing wild ocean fisheries.
Who We Are
We are a coalition of commercial and recreational fishing associations, regional, and national conservation groups, aquaria, sustainable seafood suppliers, and marine science organizations dedicated to sustaining abundant fish populations, healthy marine ecosystems, and thriving working waterfront communities through defending and strengthening U.S. ocean conservation and fisheries management policies.
Our Mission
Our mission is to conserve and revitalize wild ocean fisheries for the economic betterment, cultural enrichment, and health benefit of people and communities nationwide. We are dedicated to ensuring that abundant, productive, and resilient U.S. ocean fisheries will provide jobs, economic security, and sustainable domestic seafood now and for future generations.
