Protecting Alabama's Marine Resources. Coastal Conservation Association (CCA) is a non-profit organization comprised of 15 coastal state chapters spanning the Gulf of Mexico and Atlantic seaboard.

CCA Alabama was the first state chapter outside Texas, where a small group of conservation minded individuals founded what has become the most effective saltwater conservation membership organization of its kind.
