On this home page we'll introduce ourselves
and
explain what SOFA stands for, who we represent, and what we are trying
to accomplish. Our website is
in its infancy. We will continue to build this site and as a
result the information you find here will be changing and updated almost
daily. Patience, Grasshopper.
Representing
the interests of the commercial fishing industry is a significant
challenge. It is not easy to convince the public that the people
who make their living in an environmentally sensitive industry
actually have the interests of all Americans and
the marine environment at heart. This website is a great way to introduce ourselves and educate visitors on the issues faced
here on the docks and offshore as well as in the stores and markets around the
country.
We
hope the information you find on this site will encourage you to dig
deeper into the problems faced by our industry and the way our
government is addressing those problems. We welcome your visits
and look forward to
hearing from you. If you have any questions, comments or need further
information, please don't hesitate to visit our Contact Us page.

SITE NEWS
Captain's Designs web designers have agreed to take over the design and maintenance of the S.O.F.A. site, pro bono. We are currently doing a complete redesign of the site which we hope will be ready soon, although the fact that the guy who does the design work for Captain's Designs (that would be me) is a commercial fisherman and is likely offshore trying to keep the wolf from the door might slow things down just a bit. We ask for just a bit of patience and promise you the new site will look great and have a lot of new features added to all of the present content as well as a lot of new multimedia content and other features to both keep you entertained and, most importantly, keep you up to date on what is going on in our fishery.
Check back soon, it won't be long and we'll have the brand new look and lots of new content for you. Thanks for your patience in the meantime. If we've accidentally disabled some feature you need of the current site while making the move to the new servers, send me an email at mike@captainsdesigns and I'll get it back up for you as soon as possible.
