Supporting healthy oceans, sustainable fishing and strong coastal communities on Cape Cod.
Living in the London, England and having a house in Chatham, MA, I figured running from Falmouth, UK to Falmouth, USA wasn't possible. Therefore a better way to make it across the pond other than by boat, would be to join a fantastic cause, the Cape Cod Commercial Fishermen's Alliance running on both sides of the Atlantic. With all of the fish swimming in between the two countries and not having a boat, I figured that I might as well support commercial fishing with my feet and run. Also, building these relationships gives me a good trajectory into retirement.
Description
The Cape Cod Commerical Fishermen's Alliance is proud to be participating for the sixth consecutive year in the iconic Falmouth Road Race as part of the Numbers for Non-Profits Program. Our fantastic team is running to raise funds to help us continue our work advocating for our historic small boat fishing industry and sustainable fishing on Cape Cod.
Founded in 1991 by the local fishing fleet, Fishermen's Alliance engages the local fishing community in building lasting solutions to protect the ocean ecosystem and the future of Cape Cod's small-boat fishing fleet.
Fishermen's Alliance stands for:
- A Healthy Ocean Environment: We advocate for healthy oceans to ensure sustainable and successful fishing businesses.
- Fishermen Driving Science: Fishermen partner with scientists to conduct research to inform sensible and forward-looking fishing regulations.
- Economic Development: We invest in fisheries to provide opportunities for both today's fishermen and future generations to build their businesses.
- Community: We bring fishermen and our community together to create connections that support the local fishing industry and its value to the community.
- Sustainable Solutions: We believe a healthy marine environment is essential to the success and sustainability of Cape Cod's economy. Fishermen's Alliance is taking action now to make sure there will be a future for fish and fishermen.
Thank you for supporting healthy oceans, sustainable fishing and strong coastal communities on Cape Cod!
