Welcome to the East Coast
Shellfish Growers Association

The ECSGA is supporting Gulf fishermen impacted by the BP oil disaster through Friends of the Fishermen. This non-profit group is part of the Louisiana Seafood Promotion Board, and is dedicated to assisting the fishing community, including oyster workers, shrimpers, seafood processors and other workers affected by this disaster. For more information, visit www.friendsofthefishermen.org or click on the button below to donate now.

The ECSGA represents over 1000 shellfish farmers from Maine to Florida. These proud stewards of the marine environment produce sustainable farmed shellfish while providing thousands of jobs in rural coastal towns.

The ECSGA informs policy makers and regulators to protect a way of life. For more details on what we do, check out this list of recent initiatives.
