Learning from the Past, Meeting Challenges of the Present, Advancing to a Sustainable Future<\/h3>\n

Funds generated from the 1870 Society are investments. This support will be invested in important areas such as education, training, professional development, and policy. In addition, funds raised through The 1870 Society will be used to support improvements that will directly benefit the service we provide to our members and community. The members and supporters who join The 1870 Society are champions. Your generosity will make the difference for AFS, our members, and the field of fisheries. The 1870 Society members are committed stakeholders helping us to fund strategic plan initiatives that might otherwise be delayed or unfunded.<\/p>\n[su_button url=”https:\/\/secure.fisheries.org\/MemberResponsive\/Donations\/Give_1870_Society.aspx” target=”blank” style=”soft” background=”#145593″ size=”8″ center=”yes”]Join the 1870 Society[\/su_button][su_spacer]\n
