Classifieds
One of the goals of the CFA is to make it easier for fishermen to find each other and get things done. These classifieds can be used to find jobs, or to buy or sell equipment. You’ll need to create a user name and password before you can get started. Once you are registered, you can read others’ ads or post one of your own.

Issues
Like any group, certain issues affect fishermen more than others. The CFA has identified two that need immediate attention by the public and lawmakers. The lack of a health care program for commercial fishermen and the growing difficulties they face in gaining access to local waterfronts are daily challenges for the nation’s fishermen and their related businesses.
Action alerts
Take a stand and help make a difference in the lives of America’s commercial fishermen by lending them support when national and local issues that affect them arise. You can sign up to receive action alerts to be notified whenever the fishing community needs to rally together to work for political change or support a local community hit with disaster. Sign up for alerts by subscribing to our RSS feed or our Google! Group.
