Community & Partners

A Place for Every Partner

A resilient fishing community is built by people and organizations working toward a shared future. Whether you land the catch, help distribute it, serve it, or invest in the systems behind it, there is a meaningful role for you in keeping Monterey Bay’s working waterfronts strong and local seafood within reach.

“What is unique about this program is that it is connecting the need for food, which is significant right now, with a lot of fishermen who are ready, willing, and able to catch fish and provide that to our community.”

— Alan Lovewell, Real Good Fish

“We’re tremendously grateful for the Monterey Bay Fisheries Trust and the local fishermen who help us provide locally-sourced nutrition for our clients. This is an excellent example of creative collaboration. When it comes to working towards a common goal, we are stronger together.”

— Christine Winge, Meals on Wheels, Monterey Peninsula

Stronger Together

This work runs on partnership — fishermen, seafood businesses, food relief organizations, funders, and conservation allies, all pulling in the same direction.
