Recreational fishing generates billions of dollars of economic activity throughout our coastal communities every year. NOAA Fisheries is producing a new series of video shorts focusing on recreational fishing across the country and how we support one of America's favorite pastimes.

With a new video being released each month, we will be highlighting a range of topics and opportunities. Watch these videos and learn more about marine recreational fishing from waters across the country.

At NOAA, fishing isn't just our job, it's our passion!

If you would like additional information on any of these topics please contact your regional recreational fishing coordinator.
