The Fishermen Family Relief Fund

In 2016, when the Salmon season was closed for the entire 

year, we were involved with relief funds to help the fishermen by 

providing a money card for groceries. We decided after that, to 

set up a fund for future crisis events that our local fishermen 

families may experience. Coincidentally, we had also just finished 

fundraising for the “Those Who Wait “ sculpture and thought that 

this would be a good use of our fundraiser funds going forward. 

It is set up to offer assistance to fishing families when they 

have a catastrophic event related to fishing that prevents them 

from fishing for a prolong period and or causes significant 

financial adversity.  The fund was primarily set up to assist our 

local commercial fishermen that fish out of Port San Luis or Morro 

Bay harbors. That includes Captain and Crew. 

It can also be used to assist a spouse after a death at sea.
