A voice for the fish and seafood industry throughout New Jersey
January 1 marked the inauguration of the Garden State Seafood Association, a statewide organization of commercial fishermen and fishing companies, related businesses and individuals working in common cause to promote the interests of the commercial fishing industry and seafood consumers in New Jersey.
The Association’s primary goal is to assure that our marine resources are managed responsibly and that all of the people in New Jersey, whether as anglers or as seafood consumers will be able to enjoy the bounty of New Jersey’s rich coastal and offshore waters for generations.
That is our pledge to those who catch fish as their livelihood, to those who go fishing for recreation and for the millions who enjoy eating seafood in restaurants and at home.
GSSA members care about the environment and the waters in which they fish. They care about their industry and the consumers they serve. Yet, the industry has come under assault – some misguided groups and individuals have been waging a war against commercial fishing and against the consumers who enjoy Jersey Fresh seafood.
That’s why GSSA was formed. Headquartered on State Street in Trenton, GSSA serves as the eyes, ears and strong voice of New Jersey’s commercial fishing industry. Public policy makers need to know the facts and the truth about fishing issues which impact the commercial industry and the people of New Jersey. GSSA will provide that and much more!
