Together, We Preserve the Gulf

The Southern Offshore Fishing Association (S.O.F.A.) has been fighting for over 30 years to protect the Gulf of America’s marine resources, fishing communities, and the heritage of hardworking American fishermen.

But we can’t do it alone.

Your support keeps our waters clean, our fisheries sustainable, and our voices strong in the fight for fair regulations, environmental protection, and economic security for fishing families across the Gulf.

Why Your Donation Matters

  • Protecting the Future of Fishing: We advocate for policies that preserve the Gulf for future generations.
  • Sustainable Seafood & Marine Stewardship: Your support helps us balance tradition, livelihood, and environmental responsibility.
  • Legal Defense Against Harmful Regulations: We use funds to challenge unfair rules and fight for the rights of fishermen and coastal communities.
  • Community Education & Outreach: Every dollar funds workshops, awareness campaigns, and youth programs to keep fishing traditions alive.
