About
Fishing is a billion-dollar industry here in New England, but it’s not one big company. Commercial fishermen are a collection of rugged individuals who don’t have corporate support or a huge Human Resources department working on their behalf.
The idea behind the Fishing Partnership emerged from the fishing industry itself. Local fishing leaders got together and agreed that even though their fisheries had different interests, they could all benefit from an organization dedicated to the health and well-being of their families.
