The
GFWA is a non-profit organization promoting the
New England fishing industry, helping to preserve
the Atlantic Ocean as a food supply for the world,
and assisting active and retired fishermen and their
families to live better lives.
Since 1969, the GFWA has been a strong voice expressing
the concerns of the fishing industry at local, state,
federal, and international meetings and hearings.
The goal of the organization is to help promote
a healthy environment and a just economy that allows
local and family-owned businesses to survive in
a changing world. It defends the rights of fishing
people and develops programs that are economic,
educational, cultural, and social in scope.
It is the first organization of its kind. The GFWA
continually promotes Gloucester, the oldest fishing
port in the nation, for its beauty and the culture
of the people on its working waterfront.
The GFWA will continue to be a strong advocate for
regulations which ensure a healthy ocean and healthy
fishing communities in Gloucester and around the
world.
We wish to thank the Moore Charitable Trust
