National Coalition for Marine Conservation
(重定向自NCMC)
Founded in 1973 by fishermen, the National Coalition for Marine Conservation (NCMC) is the USA's oldest public advocacy group dedicated exclusively to conserving ocean fish and their environment. The NCMC's mission is to build awareness of the threats to USA marine fisheries and convince policy-makers to restore and protect publicly owned fishery resources. Its efforts focus on stopping overfishing, reducing bykill caused by indiscriminate fishing gear, and stemming the loss of critical marine habitat.
