At Project SeaSafe, we’re passionate about protecting aquatic ecosystems and fostering a sense of responsibility in the next generation of anglers. Our sponsorship of the International Game Fish Association (IGFA) reflects this commitment and underscores our belief in the power of education and collaboration to make a lasting impact.
Transformative Education Through IGFA Youth Programs
IGFA’s youth education programs are nothing short of transformative. From their “Passports to Fishing” initiative—which provides accessible, multi-language kits for fishing clinics in over 45 countries—to their multi-day fishing camps and family fishing clinics, these programs offer children and families the chance to connect with nature while learning about conservation and ethical angling practices.
Star brite’s Impact: Expanding IGFA’s Reach
Star brite’s sponsorship has allowed IGFA to expand the reach of these programs, helping them inspire more than 50,000 children and families each year. Through our partnership, we’re equipping the next generation with the skills and mindset needed to protect our waters and enjoy sustainable fishing for years to come.
A Partnership Built on Connection and Collaboration
This collaboration is further strengthened by our Conservation Director, Cory Redwine. Not only has Cory developed friendships with IGFA President Jason Schratwieser and Marketing Director Adrian Gray, but she’s also shared many fishing trips with them. These experiences have deepened our connection to IGFA and laid the groundwork for future joint initiatives through Star brite and Project SeaSafe. Cory is now working to expand our involvement by pulling more OneWater brands into the fold, helping IGFA amplify its conservation and educational efforts.
Uniting for Greater Conservation Goals
We’re excited about the possibilities this partnership holds—not just for Star brite and Project SeaSafe, but for the entire OneWater family of brands. Together, we can make an even greater impact on conservation education, ensuring that future generations understand the importance of protecting our aquatic ecosystems.
