Mission

The mission of this corporation shall be to increase opportunities for local fishing operations to participate in sustainable fishing activities along the west coast of the United States; and to develop those fishing opportunities in a manner that enhances the economic, social, and environmental conditions of fishery participants and fishery resources.

About

Purchased additional quota share in the West Coast groundfish IFQ fishery and leased quota pounds to local participants in the fishery to ensure continued access and to increase local port landings. We leased quota to participants in other regions to best utilize assets more specific to those areas. Maintained relationships with municipal leaders and like organization in other California fishing port communities. Also, by working with the Nature Conservancy and local fishermen we started a gear recovery project to help prevent mammal entanglement. Working with crab and salmon fishers, we developed a protocol and process for identifying the location of lost gear, eligibility to be a recovery captain, and steps to remove, document and store the recovered gear. Recovery captains deploy to geographic areas in the ocean where lost, abandoned, or derelict gear and lines are documented. We verify the location of the found gear by uploading a picture while the gear is still in the water to the app developed by the McClintock Lab at UC Santa Barbara to ensure compliance with the program rules. We offer financial incentives to recovery captains for delivering and stacking gear, which is later sold back to the owners or auctioned.
