At the April board meeting, New England Fishermen’s Stewardship Association submitted a vote to offer free youth memberships to the association to all interested persons under the age of 18. This initiative was unanimously approved.
At New England Fishermen’s Stewardship Association, protecting sustainable American commercial fisheries for the future generations of harvesters to come is a top priority. As mentors to the next generation, we are enthusiastic about working with our youth on the water and off and serving as a resource, while building relationships across generations.
All of the association’s staff and board members have years of experience in the commercial fishing industry, and we are excited to share our collective knowledge and work together for the next generation of U.S. wild harvesters.
