About

Noyo Harbor is tucked into the forested hills at the south end of Fort Bragg, the largest town on the California coast between San Francisco and Eureka. Home to spectacular rivers, redwood forests, pristine beaches and trails, it’s an ideal destination for both visitors and small businesses. This growing, prosperous city offers a unique blend of natural resources, recreation, and scenery.

Fort Bragg Groundfish Association is creating new opportunities for fishermen whose family-owned boats and fishing operations are critical to the region’s economic stability. We are leading change, cultivating partners, securing investments, exploring opportunities, increasing awareness and broadening our impact.
