Why Chapters Matter

Fishing Is Better
With a Community.

A chapter gives members a meaningful connection to the anglers, guides, businesses and fishing resources within their own region while keeping them connected to the broader LBFA network.

Local Connection Build relationships with the people who fish and work around the same shoreline.
Community Activity Fishing days, education, outreach, stewardship and regional chapter events.
Shared Resources Connect members with useful fisheries information, local knowledge and official resources.
Local Representation Give each region an organized place within the larger land-based fishing community.
Built Around the Water

Local Knowledge.
Shared Standards.

Every coastline has its own fishery, access points, conditions and community. LBFA chapters preserve that local identity while connecting members through common standards and a larger organizational network.

Regional Chapters

Connected Locally.
United Nationally.

Regional chapters give members a local home within LBFA, connecting the people who fish, guide and support the same coastal communities.

Chapter Leadership

Built With
Responsibility.

Local leadership represents both its regional community and the Alliance. Chapters are expected to remain focused, organized and aligned with LBFA standards.

Professional Representation Chapter leadership should represent LBFA and the fishing community responsibly.
Responsible Fishing Promote legal, ethical and responsible fishing practices throughout chapter activity.
Respect for Access Encourage responsible use of beaches, shorelines, piers and public fishing areas.
Education & Stewardship Support useful information, fisheries education and positive shoreline practices.
Community Focus Chapter activity should strengthen the people and fishing community around it.
Regional Chapter Interest

Bring LBFA
to Your Region.

If your coastline is not currently represented by an LBFA chapter, qualified anglers, guides and community leaders can express interest in regional chapter development.

New chapters should be built around genuine community participation, responsible leadership and alignment with the standards of the Alliance.

Chapter inquiries are reviewed to help ensure regional development remains consistent with LBFA's mission, standards and organizational structure.
