Nonprofit Overview
Causes: Environment, Water, Water Resources, Wetlands Conservation & Management
Mission: The california fisheries fund is a public-private-nonprofit partnership that provides loans to support the entire seafood supply chain, from fisherman to dockside fish buyers to processors and distributors. These investments are stimulating new jobs and coastal communities, and aligning the economic interests of fishing communities with ocean conservation and stewardship goals.
Programs: The california fisheries fund ("cff") helps fisherman purchase equipment, develop fishing port infrastructure, and create and implement new business plans for brining eco-friendly fish to new markets. California fishermen are facing challenging economic times, a credit crunch and limited access to fishing stocks, at a time when consumer demand for sustainable seafood continues to grow. To meet the rising demand for eco-friendly seafood and to grow our fishing economy, cff is investing in innovative and environmentally-friendly seafood businesses in california. The cff invests at every stage in the supply chain, from the fishermen, to the dockside fish buyer, to the processor and distributor. Fisheries undergoing innovative management programs that lay the groundwork and environmental recovery are particularly ripe for investment. Cff borrowers will help to develop a market for eco-friendly seafood caught in california waters and in turn help to create new fishing industry jobs.
