About Us
A little company with some big ideas...
Our roots began on the Indian River in New Smyrna Beach, FL. New Smyrna Beach (NSB) is a little surf town with a real big reputation as NSB is known as one of the 20 best surf towns in the world (Nat'l Geo., 2017). And what is the perfect complement to a surf town? Sharks. That's right, NSB is also known as the shark bite capitol of the world. No kidding. You can't even make this stuff up. BUT this reputation doesn't stop the surfers from doing what they love! And you know what? We truly LOVE our surf town AND of course, we LOVE our state as well. We want to help protect it and its surrounding waterways therefore, we pledge to give a portion of the proceeds of every t-shirt sold to benefitting, protecting, and enhancing our incredible state. We hope you will join us in our mission to clean and protect.

Partnership With CCA
CCA Vision
Ensuring the health and conservation of our marine resources and anglers’ access to them.
CCA Story
CCA was created in 1977, after drastic commercial overfishing along the Texas coast had decimated redfish and speckled trout populations. A group of 14
concerned recreational anglers gathered in a local tackle shop to create the Gulf Coast Conservation Association to turn the tide for conservation. Only
four years later, gill nets along the Texas coast were outlawed and both red drum and speckled trout were declared game fish.
This previously unimaginable victory launched a new era in marine resource conservation.
The successful conservation movement that started with the “Save the Redfish” campaign got the attention of anglers across the Gulf and by 1985, chapters had formed all along the Gulf Coast. By the early ‘90s, the South- and Mid-Atlantic regions had CCA chapters, in 2007, Washington and Oregon chapters were formed and in 2015, the CCA California chapter was created. The fish are different, but the challenges facing them are often the same on all coasts – destructive commercial gear, degraded habitat and misguided management concepts.
CCA has proven time and again that anglers are the best stewards of the marine environment. We work to protect not only the health, habitat and sustainability of our marine resources, but also the interests of recreational anglers and their access to the resources they cherish. With a growing, well-informed, active membership, CCA continues the mission launched by those 14 visionary anglers so many years
ago.
