The Martha's Vineyard / Dukes County Fishermen's Association was created by the County Commission on February 25, 2009.
The goals of the coalition would be to:
1. Represent the Martha’s Vineyard on fishery issues before the local, state, regional and federal regulatory agencies.
2. Identify and champion methods to make fishing sustainable and consistent with sensible environmental goals.
3. Maintain employment, create opportunities in helping with our strong maritime heritage.
4. Educate ourselves and communicate with the community about the issues facing all of fishing.
5. Conduct the research necessary to advocate well.
