Coastal Conservation Association (CCA) is a nonprofit organization focused on marine resource conservation and the interests of recreational anglers. Founded in 1977 after overfishing along the Texas coast, it mobilizes an active membership to safeguard the health, habitat, and sustainability of coastal marine resources while maintaining access for anglers. Based in Houston, Texas, CCA operates across the Gulf Coast and has expanded chapters nationally, aiming to address shared challenges such as destructive gear, degraded habitat, and management concepts that affect various species. In addition to advocacy, the organization engages in conservation initiatives and partnerships, including collaborations with universities, gear brands, and regional fisheries programs to support science-based conservation and youth engagement. Recent activities include joint efforts with academic institutions and industry partners to develop and deploy conservation tools and programs, such as mapping and research initiatives that support apex shark tracking and habitat preservation.
