The RIPCBA is an advocate for the sea and fishing.  The Association advocates, through appointments on many State and Federal regulatory agencies,  for clean and safe water to fish.  It is the responsible of all of us to take care of our fish stocks in a responsible way as well as our oceans, bays and rivers to insure we can fish today and in the future.  Our work here will help to insure our valuable marine resources are available for both present and future generations.

Of the 214 recipients, 98 Captains completed and returned the survey (which is a 45% response rate).
