CCA Texas

CCA Texas

CCA Texas has been instrumental in the conservation of coastal resources for more than 25 years. Whether fighting for the establishment of speckled trout and redfish as gamefish, building two of the largest saltwater hatcheries in the world or working to ensure freshwater inflow into our bays and estuaries, CCA Texas has been there.

CCA Texas is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit charity. Donations are tax deductible as allowed by law. Please go to the Join CCA tab and review all of the membership and contribution levels. Please remember that no donation is too small.

Remember, no donation of time or money is too great or too small when it comes to protecting Texas’ precious coastal resources.

Legal Defense Fund

The legal defense fund (LDF) was established to keep the concerns of CCA’s membership represented in critical court battles for marine resource conservation. “The LDF has given CCA the ability to add the courts as places to promote conservation and the interests of recreational angler,” said Bob Hayes, CCA’s general council. “We have found that if you are not willing to defend good conservation in court, you are wasting your time trying to get good conservation decisions.”

With the help of the LDF, CCA’s voice grows louder in the continued legal battle for proper conservation. CCA counsel has used these funds to challenge threats to overfished red snapper, marlin, and shark stocks, implement and maintain critical bycatch reduction measures in the Gulf and combat destructive commercial fishing gear.
