Preserving Virginia’s
Chesapeake Bay & Coastal Fisheries
Our Mission
As recreational anglers, we understand the importance of protecting our marine resources for future generations. As a grassroots, non-profit (c)3 organization in Virginia, we are dedicated to ensuring a healthy and abundant saltwater fishery and the right to fish recreationally in our Chesapeake Bay. By advocating for the responsible management of our marine resources, we can provide more opportunities for all of Virginia saltwater sportfishing anglers. It’s vital that we unite and amplify our message to ensure a sustainable future for our fisheries.
Our Vision
Everything we do, we do with one goal in mind: influence Virginia saltwater marine resource policy and legislation with state and federal fisheries managers, state legislators, government officials, and our partners who value conservation of our resources. We must fight to protect these valuable resources and our way of life for future generations.
