What is a CSF?
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.
Who we are?
Walking Fish is a mission driven cooperative that is dedicated to supporting healthy fisheries and the communities that depend on them. This initiative, founded by graduate students at Duke University, takes root in the belief that people –whether they are coastal fishermen or local consumers – play an important role in creating solutions to the social, economic, and environmental challenges we face. The goals of this business are simple: to foster economic opportunities, to cultivate healthy communities, and to encourage environmental stewardship. We recognize that conservation is intimately linked to the well-being of people and communities, and we believe that in order to work towards ecological sustainability we must also work towards local economic stability and social equity.
