The Midcoast Fishermen's Association identifies and fosters ways to restore our groundfish fishery and sustain fishing communities along Maine's coast for future generations.
The Midcoast Fishermen's Association seeks to:
  • Enhance ecological and financial sustainability of the fishery while minimizing habitat impacts with alternative fishing practices;
  • Communicate and collaborate with the regulatory bodies that govern our fishery;
  • Form alliances with organizations and individuals who share our vision;
  • Convene local fishermen to discuss and create positive solutions for our fishery;
  • Promote public awareness about the historic and economic value of Maine's fishing communities;
  • Develop innovative ways to market our seafood;
  • Create a business model that allows the public to participate in the recovery and sustainability of this fundamental resource.
