Mission Statement

The stated purpose of CCA is to advise and educate the public on the conservation of marine resources. The objective of CCA is to conserve, promote and enhance the present and future availability of these coastal resources for the benefit and enjoyment of the general public.

History

Coastal Conservation Association Texas is a non-profit marine conservation organization comprised of tens of thousands of recreational anglers and coastal outdoor enthusiasts. CCA Texas was formed in 1977 by a small group of recreational anglers who were concerned after drastic commercial overfishing decimated Texas ‘ redfish and speckled trout populations. More than a quarter of a century later, CCA Texas continues the spirit of stewardship that started with the “Save the Redfish” campaign.

CCA Texas’ unmatched breadth and depth of volunteer involvement has made it the largest marine conservation group of its kind, enacting positive change on all levels of coastal marine conservation and management.

CCA Texas is engaged in hundreds of local, state and national programs and projects related to marine conservation, such as initiating scientific studies, working to pass pro-resource legislation, funding marine science scholarships, habitat restoration projects, funding state-of-the-art hatcheries, fighting for quality and quantity of freshwater inflows for coastal bays and estuaries, supporting local marine law enforcement and much more…
