Cape Cod Commercial Fishermen’s Alliance
Fishing families are at the heart of Cape Cod’s coastal economy. We partner with the Cape Cod Commercial Fishermen’s Alliance to protect local fisheries, support fishermen, and promote sustainable seafood.
“We’re proud to be from here, I can honestly say I’m a Cape Codder…I like knowing where my money goes down the line, if I can support local people and local families we all got to make a living here and if I can do my part to spend it down the line then.”
