Overview

The ACSF was formed to allow for an organized community voice for fishing and fisheries
in response to current and future state and federal legislation that affects fishing, fisheries,
and attendant coastal and marine environments. We will also expand our areas of
interest to include a wide body of constituents’ needs, specifically: all people who fish, all
public or private agencies with an interest in fishing, all non-profit marine protection
agencies, and any persons with an interest in fishing, preservation of traditional fishing
culture, and coastal and marine conservation.

Mission

The Alliance of Communities for Sustainable Fisheries advocates for the heritage and
economic value of fishing to California Coastal Communities. To preserve and enhance
that value, the Alliance offers a broadly representative educational and promotional voice
for waterfront communities to work constructively with interested agencies, individuals,
and other marine protection organizations in order to ascertain and guarantee that: (1) the
best and most current oceanographic, socio-economic, and fisheries science is accurately
compiled; (2) this science is readily available to the public for use in crafting and
promoting public policy; (3) the linkage between healthy sustainable fisheries, marine
conservation, and coastal communities is firmly established in the public mind.
