The Fraser Coast Fishing Alliance was formed in 2013 after resigning from the former Sunfish Fraser Coast branch with the Vision of restoring The Fraser Coast as a Premier Family Fishing Region.

The FCFA Mission: To establish the Fraser Coast as the premier family fishing region, recognized by locals and tourists alike and managed for that purpose by all levels of government.

Our Objectives:

1) to further the interests of recreational fishing on the Fraser Coast;

2) to provide a single voice and forum for the recreational fishers and associated businesses and industries of the Fraser Coast;

3) to ensure that all levels of government and fisheries managers recognize that recreational fishing is the major stakeholder of inshore fisheries resources in Qld;

4) to ensure the Great Sandy Marine Park gains the recognition and protection it deserves with commercial netting to be removed from all current yellow conservation zones;

5) to support fair and appropriate compensation for all displaced or affected commercial fishing operators where there is fisheries resource allocation to the recreational fishing sector;

6 ) to make representations and submissions to the Queensland Government and other Governments in the furtherance of these objectives and for the benefit of recreational fishing on the Fraser Coast;

7 ) to promote and sponsor angler education ;

8 ) to accept affiliation from and liaise with other recreational fishing bodies upon such terms and conditions as may be considered appropriate;

9 ) to co-operate with State and National organisations with similar or allied interests;

10 ) to develop and support scientific data collection relating to recreational fishing;

11) to represent recreational fishing on the Fraser Coast at any meeting where the future of recreational fishing or fish stocks is being determined;

12 ) to promote legal and ethical recreational fishing;

13 ) to seek and receive gifts, grants and subscriptions for the functioning or furtherance of the Association.
