Based on the community-supported agriculture (CSA) model, a community supported fishery (CSF) is a program that connects local fishermen to a local market. CSF members pre-pay for a “season” of fresh, locally caught seafood, and in turn fishermen provide a weekly share of premium fish or shellfish. CSFs seek to reconnect communities with their food system, encourage low-impact fishing practices, and build relationships between fishermen and community members.
