Brook Oliva (above), Foundation Outdoor Group and Mud Hole Custom Tackle president and chief operating officer has been appointed to Coastal Conservation Association Florida’s management committee.

With this news, Foundation Outdoor Group, with its portfolio of rod building and fishing brands that includes Mud Hole Custom Tackle, American Tackle, CRB, Flex Coat, MHX and ProProducts, continues its dedication to preserving Florida’s natural resources.

While supporting this new role, Brook will continue to serve as the CCA Orlando Chapter president.

He said: “It’s an honour to serve in both capacities with CCA Florida. The work we are doing is vital to maintaining and improving Florida’s ecosystems.

“Our economy and the entire sportfishing industry rely heavily on healthy waterways and habitats. It is imperative that we take action to ensure thriving fisheries for future generations.”

CCA Florida’s management committee serves as the governing body between state board meetings, exercising full authority of the state board to oversee statewide operations, strategy and leadership of the organisation.

With his depth of leadership experience, keen understanding of CCA organizational dynamics, and passion for conservation and the outdoors, Brook was an obvious choice to join the committee.

CCA Florida executive director Brian Gorski added. “Brook brings a strong depth of experience and insight that will be invaluable as we continue advancing our conservation, advocacy and fundraising initiatives across the state. His perspective and leadership will support our ability to make informed decisions and shape the future of CCA Florida.”

Brook and the whole Foundation Outdoor Group team have been instrumental in leading CCA Florida’s East Coast Redfish Restocking Program ‘Release the East,’ the Fred Crabill Youth Scholarship Program (Y.S.P.) presented by the Mud Hole Education Program and supporting local and statewide events.
