Overview
Mission
Our purpose is to protect and preserve the charlotte harbor/pine island sound estuary system. The culturally and economically important fishery that depends upon this ecosystem is under threat, and new conservation measures are urgently needed to arrest its rapid state of decline. Our goal is to recover this once quality fishery, and to protect a healthy estuary for our angling, economic and recreational future. The largest concentration of tarpon in the world gathers in and near boca grande pass to feed and build strength before heading offshore to spawn. Our increasing presence in their migratory journey has raised the bar of our responsibilities. Our members will work diligently and unwaveringly for the best interests of our fishery and estuary system.
