Founded in 2021, The South Carolina Boating and Fishing Alliance (SCBFA) is a 501(c)(6) comprised of South Carolina’s boating and fishing manufacturers, dealers, retailers, boaters and anglers who represent $5 billion of commerce to the Palmetto State.
The South Carolina Boating & Fishing Alliance (SCBFA), which represents some of the most iconic boat and tackle brands in the world across South Carolina’s $6.5 billion boating and fishing industry, has announced a partnership with West Marine, naming the retailer the Official Marine Retailer of SCBFA.
South Carolina marine business leader and SCBFA Founding Chairman Chris Butler pressed Congress this week to include the people who know the waters best: boaters, anglers, and local residents in federal decision-making. He argued that these stakeholders see the real impacts every day, yet their voices are too often drowned out by distant bureaucrats and extremists.
SCDNR submitted an Exempted Fishing Permit (EFP) proposal to the U.S. Department of Commerce and NOAA Fisheries seeking a 61‑ or 62‑day season and the authority to manage the recreational fishery starting in 2026.
The South Carolina Boating & Fishing Alliance (SCBFA) and Coastal Conservation South Carolina joined national sportfishing organizations in welcoming a major step forward for red snapper reform as the Attorneys General of South Carolina, Georgia, and Florida submitted a joint letter calling on the federal government to transfer management of South Atlantic red snapper to the states.
