The stated purpose of Coastal Conservation Association is to advise and educate the public on conservation of marine resources. The objective of CCA is to conserve, promote, and enhance the present and future availability of these coastal resources for the benefit and enjoyment of the general public.

As a non-profit organization, comprised of 17 coastal state chapters spanning the Gulf of Mexico, Atlantic and Pacific coasts, their strength is drawn from the tens of thousands of recreational saltwater anglers who make up its membership. CCA operates as a three-tiered organization, affecting issues on the local, state, and national levels and has been active in almost all national fisheries debates since 1984.

Its grassroots network and dynamic combination of membership, fundraising, and advocacy have enacted positive change on all levels of coastal marine conservation and management.
