National
Coalition for Marine Conservation (NCMC)
For
over 25 years, the National Coalition for Marine Conservation (NCMC)
has been the only national environmental organization dedicated
exclusively to conserving ocean fish and their environment. The
NCMC was founded in 1973 by conservation-minded fishermen and
today is supported by fishermen, scientists, divers, boaters and
wildlife enthusiasts -- all those who share our goal of making
sure there will always be plenty of fish in the sea.
Ocean
fish are wild creatures just as magnificent and fascinating as any
marine or terrestrial mammal. They are an irreplaceable natural
resource of enormous social and economic value, as well as major
components of the ocean ecosystem. As a renewable resource, they
can enhance our quality of life indefinitely, but only if used and
conserved wisely.
Prevent
over fishing and restore depleted fish populations to healthy
levels Promote
sustainable use policies that balance commercial, recreational
and ecological values Modify
or eliminate wasteful fishing practices Improve
our understanding of fish and their role in the marine
environment
Preserve
coastal habitat and water quality.
