Fishermen Fight Back
Fishermen Involved in Sustaining our Heritage (FISH) is a Louisiana-based, indigenously-led nonprofit organization and coalition of dedicated commercial fishermen. Our mission is to passionately advocate for environmental preservation, safeguarding against LNG (Liquefied Natural Gas) threats, and championing the rights of commercial fishermen to flourish and prosper. Through unwavering dedication, we raise awareness and extend direct mutual aid to uplift and support the vibrant community of Gulf Coast commercial fishermen.
Based in Cameron, Louisiana
Pending LNG expansion projects in the Gulf threaten to double down on already devastating impacts to the health of our families, our fishing industry, our community, and our paradise.
We won’t let them destroy our coast without a fight.
