Fish Against Addiction Speckled Trout Fishing Tournament is a nonprofit organization founded by the family and friends of Tyler Dees.

Not only is this tournament being held in Tyler's name, but in honor of those who have lost their battle with drugs/fentanyl toxicity and alcohol, those who are struggling with addiction and are in rehabilitation centers, and those who have overcome addiction.

We recognized after Tyler's passing that we wanted to help the community in Carteret County by providing support to our local treatment centers.

The organizations provide shelter, education, and support for men and women in Carteret County seeking recovery.

The Friends Support and Enhance the Mission of
the North Carolina Maritime Museum in Beaufort
through Communications, Programs and Financial Support.

Who We Are and What We Do
The North Carolina Maritime Museum in Beaufort is a state-funded museum dedicated to care, display and interpretation of our state’s rich maritime heritage. The public funding allotted provides for many basic needs.

State funding makes the Museum possible,
The Friends make it great!

The reason the Museum can go above and beyond in producing and sustaining such a great variety of programs and exhibits is exclusively because of support from the Friends of the Museum. The Friends of the Museum and its membership support is what takes the Museum to the next level.

Your support is crucial to helping the Museum grow in Beaufort, North Carolina. Click Here To Join The Friends of the Maritime Museum!

The Friends work with the Museum in Beaufort by underwriting new projects, purchasing equipment, administering grants, funding educational and public awareness programs, acquiring land and facilities needed for expansion, and operating the Port Of Call Museum Store.

The Friends of the North Carolina Maritime Museum, Inc. is a private, 501(c)(3) non-profit corporation forging a public/private partnership between supporters of our state’s rich maritime heritage and related natural history and the State of North Carolina.

Patrons of the Museum organized “The Friends” in 1977 as a way for the entire state to help the North Carolina Maritime Museum grow and prosper. The Friends goes the extra distance to ensure our state’s maritime heritage will always be preserved and cherished and our citizens will have access to it.

The Friends value the coastal communities, both past and present. Their commitment is reflected through their membership dues and donations which assist in supporting Museum programming and exhibits.
