Our passion for free-diving and breath-hold spearfishing is strengthened by a physical closeness to the marine environment and firsthand observation of the impact human actions have on bay, gulf and ocean habitats. From the foods we eat, to the water we consume, to the fertilizer we put on our lawns, we see up close how our behaviour has a tangible impact on our marine environment.

Our commitment to sustainability as spearfisherman  is demonstrated in the following ways:

• We are dedicated to participation, support and public input in the FWC fisheries management process.
• We are dedicated to promoting political and popular support for fair and sustainable fisheries practices.
• We are dedicated to using sustainable fishing practices (selectivity, restraint, avoiding bycatch).
• We are dedicated to establishing certainty of fish identification, size and bag limit before harvesting.
• We are dedicated to harvesting only what we will use and leaving enough fish to ensure future harvests.
• We are dedicated to eliminating bycatch and unintentional mortality through proper gear and technique.
• We are dedicated to promoting lifestyle habits that will increase the health of our water resources.
