Conservation

MBC has taken active and highly visible role in key local, regional and national conservation issues regarding water quality, habitat protection and fishing access issues. MBC has been a major contributor and supporter of the Coastal Conservation Association (CCA) for over 20 years. Through donations, and active involvement in environmental issues, MBC continues to fight to protect our waters and the sport of recreational fishing. In 2007, MBC was named the exclusive inshore boat provider of the CCA of Florida for its fundraising efforts through 2010.

CCA is a non-profit organization comprised of 15 coastal state chapters spanning the Gulf of Mexico and Atlantic seaboard. CCA’s strength is drawn from the tens of thousands of recreational saltwater anglers who make up its membership. From South Texas to the upper reaches of Maine, CCA’s grassroots influence is felt through state capitals, U.S. Congress and, most importantly, in the conservation and restoration of our coastal marine resources.

CCA has been active in virtually every national fisheries debate since 1984 and has participated productively in state and federal fisheries management issues for longer than two decades. CCA continues to operate as a three-tiered organization, affecting issues on the local, state and national levels.

CCA’s unmatched breadth and depth of volunteer involvement has made it the largest marine conservation group of its kind. Its grassroots network and unique combination of membership, fundraising and advocacy have enacted positive change on all levels of coastal marine conservation and management. When called into action, the impact of CCA’s grassroots machine with the support of other environmentally conscious organizations like MBC is unparalleled.
