coastal conservation association of texas
The Coastal Conservation Association is a non-profit marine conservation organization made up of 17 coastal state chapters working to conserve, promote, and enhance coastal resources for the benefit and enjoyment of the general public. Beginning in 1977 after drastic commercial overfishing along the Texas coast decimated redfish and speckled trout populations, the conservation efforts began in the Gulf Coast, Texas included, and expanded to the mid-Atlantic and New England by the mid 1990’s. The CCA’s purpose is to advise and educate the public on marine conservation in an effort to conserve and enhance for the benefit of future generations.
