The Cape Cod Commercial Hook Fishermen's Association (CCCHFA) is a grassroots non-profit organization comprised of commercial fishermen and concerned coastal residents whose rich cultural heritage and traditional economies depend on the productivity and health of the marine ecosystems around them. Our mission is to protect and restore the quality of our ocean environments by encouraging and applying a community-based ecosystem approach to fisheries management. Over the years CCCHFA members have generated a unique conservation perspective in response to changes we have witnessed firsthand in the natural marine environment.
