The Boston Fisheries Foundation is a nonprofit organization created to:
- Support and expand sustainable fisheries, which in turn sustain the New England economy;
- Educate the media and the public about the role played by fishermen in preserving our wild ocean stocks through responsible harvesting and management;
- Educate the media and the public about the benefits of sustainably harvested seafood as high-quality nutrition whose production protects the environment from deforestation, global warming, and other negative impacts;
- Facilitate public awareness of our history and the importance of wild harvests to the proud traditions of an independent New England; and,
- Develop a Maritime Fisheries Museum to honor our heritage.
