Started by a kid who noticed

Our story

The flats we grew up fishing kept getting thinner. The grass thinned out, the bait disappeared, and the water that used to run clear turned the color of tea. Nobody was measuring it and nobody was talking about it.

So we started measuring. What began as a notebook and a handful of sample jars became Ground Fish Foundation — a registered nonprofit run almost entirely by volunteers, built on the belief that protecting the bottom of the food chain protects everything above it.

We're small, we're local, and we're not going anywhere.
