Our Mission.
Protecting the ocean so fishing communities have access to a healthy and thriving coast.
Our Vision.
A healthy ocean, abundant fisheries and equitable access to thriving coastal ecosystems.
Our Approach.
We represent conservation-minded anglers and spearfishers in meaningful, ambitious ocean protection policy.
We are committed to being an honest broker of marine science and policy information to the fishing communities we represent.
We are leaders in ocean justice and equitable access issues for subsistence and recreational fishing communities across the United States.
Fish On is founded, run and informed by our community of anglers and spearfishers. We are funded by grassroots support from fishers who believe in our mission, in addition to small grants which we solicit to support our programming. As our fiscal sponsor, Earth Island Institute receives a small percentage of the funds we raise to provide us backbone support. This allows us to make the most efficient use of your generous donations by sharing core functions like human resources and accounting teams with other small organizations under the Earth Island umbrella.
