We represent commercial fishermen across the country from Dutch Harbor, AK to Honolulu, HI, and to Madeira Beach, FL to Down East Maine.
We serve as a unified, strong, and influential voice for the commercial fishing industry in Washington, D.C. We educate policymakers and the public about the U.S. commercial fishing industry, the success story of our fisheries management, and the benefits of a strong, domestic industry.
Working in D.C.
We work with lawmakers and federal agencies to balance regulatory objectives, budget priorities, and conservation goals in order to maximize the economic potential of our nation’s commercial fishing industry.
Championing the Industry
We're fishermen who advocate for our fellow fishermen. Seafood Harvesters of America is the largest association of commercial fishermen in the United States and we work tirelessly to advance the sustainability of our businesses and fisheries resources.

Resource Stewardship
As stewards of our fisheries resources, we take pride in responsibly harvesting our nation's seafood. We believe that accountability in our fisheries produces better science and management outcomes, and contributes to the long-term viability of the U.S. fishing industry.
“What makes the Seafood Harvesters different is its unprecedented coast-to-coast support. Through Harvesters, America’s commercial fishermen will be at the table when important decisions are made. And that’s key, because in Washington, D.C., if you aren’t at the table, you’re on the menu.”
